FOREWORD.
TT is now more than thirty years since I began to collect information
regarding the Smythies Family, with a view to compiling-some sort
of record of its genealogy. Since that time my views of life naturally
have changed and, whatever my earlier ideas may have been, I am now
labouring under no delusion as to the absolute value of even the longest
and most illustrious of pedigrees. But in human affairs we must have
regard to relative as well as to absolute values.
A large amount of time and energy have been spent on the collection
and arrangement of the information recorded in this genealogy, and I
think it is only right that the result should be made available for the use
of those who are likely to be interested in it. Few would venture to
assert that good family traditions have not helped to keep many a man
straight on the high road of life, or to deny the usefulness of an intelli-
gent study of the careers of others, including those of our own kith and
kin, in whom we may often see ourselves instructively reflected.
Increased self-respect, and a desire in no way to be unworthy of those
of our own stock who have set a good example, should be the result of
a knowledge that our predecessors on the world's stage have been men
and women of worth, who according to their lights endeavoured to fill
creditably that state of life to which they were called. Whether they
were among those whom the world accounted great, or whether they were
known only to their own circles as kindly members of their families and
good citizens, matters not at all, for equally useful lessons can be learnt
in either case ; and if amongst our forbears should be found some whose
example does not appear to us good, from them, too, useful lessons can be
learnt. The notion that a man with a long pedigree can live on credit
derived from the deeds or social position of his ancestors, whilst he him-
self ignores virtue, is absurd ; and whatever may have been possible in the
past, in these twentieth-century days such an illusion is apt to lead to
very unpleasant experiences for those who are foolish enough to enter-
tain it.
With these few remarks, which are intended merely to prevent mis-
conception as to the spirit in which this genealogy is published, I offer it
to my relations and connexions, and any others whom it may concern
with all good wishes.
I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to those who have so
kindly given me their help and sympathy, and responded, often at a cost
of time and trouble to themselves, to my frequent applications for tire-
some details ; and I hope there may be nothing contained in these
records which will give pain or offence to anyone.
E. H. RAYMOND SMYTHIES.

IXTRODICTIOX.
rPHE first portion of these Records to appear in print was the Exempli-
fication of Arms and Grant of Crest to George Smythes of Wyke
Court in the county of Somerset, which document, with an illustration
of the arms, crest, and mantling, was reproduced in the March, 1809,
number (Part XI., First Series) of Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,
as stated on page 1 herein. Over forty years afterwards the Editor of
this leading Genealogical Journal again offered the hospitality of its
pages to place on record further information connected with the Smythies
Family, and this time the contribution was of much greater length and
importance, for it embraced the Pedigree and the Genealogical Notes
relating to it. which, by the courtesy of the Proprietors of the Journal,
are reproduced in this volume.
The first part of the Pedigree was published in December 1010, and
the last part of the Genealogical Notes in December 1911, the whole
being included in Volume IV., Fourth Series, of the periodical. A com-
parison of the Pedigree and Notes in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica
with those in this book will, however, shew that certain small errors
which appeared in the first publication have been corrected herein, and
entries relating to recent events, such as the marriage of Evelyn Arthur
Smythies (B 23), and the birth of his son Bertram Evelyn Smythies, have
been added, thus making the record more accurate and up-to-date.
Very great care has been taken to ensure the reliability of all state-
ments, and though to quote the authority for every date and name has
not been found practicable, the sources from which all the most important
data have been derived are given in the genealogical or other notes.
Facts regarding people now living, or only recently deceased, have been
in most cases ascertained from the people themselves or their nearest
relations, or are within the personal knowledge of the Compiler. Wills,
official records, legal deeds, parish registers, standard books of reference,
and family documents have been the main sources of information
regarding the past, and useful additional information has been obtained
from such publications as county histories, The Gentleman's Magazine,
and The Ipswicli Jouriial.
In " Supplementary Data " several references which could not be
used in the Pedigree, or which have not yet been fully investigated, are
given. These, it is thought, may be of use to some genealogist in the
future, if such should be found, who is desirous of amplifying still
further the records of the Smythies Family. Every year the labours of
the searcher are being reduced by the publication in printed form of all
INTRODUCTION. XI
kinds of records, public and private, which for centuries have been hidden
away in cellars or lumber-rooms, unclassified or even unknown, many of
them only decipherable by experts and requiring an enormous amount of
time, patience, and knowledge to make them available for purposes of
research. It seems probable that amongst these may be found the
information which is still lacking to make the Smy tines Pedigree at
the end of the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth centuries more
clear. Indications are not wanting that the Chancery Proceedings of
that period, if thoroughly searched, might yield the information required,
and the useful publications of The Parish Eegister Society might at any
time give valuable help in the direction needed. For instance, no record
of the marriage of Sir Arthur Sinythes (32 on p. 29), Sheriff of Wor-
cester in IG31-3, has yet been found, though it seems probable that he
did marry, and that Dorothy Lady Smythes of St. Andrew's, Holborn,
who died in 1713 (see pp. 77, 78), was his wife. Lady Smythes' son
I'Vrdiiiainl Sinythes, Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, died in 1725,
uged 78; he was, therefore, 61 when his mother died in 1713, and she
was probably about 85. These dates suggest that she was the widow of
Sir Arthur, and an examination of the Record Office documents, or
parish registers, might confirm this; but as Ferdinand Smythes appears
to h;ive died a bachelor, and the main object of research in the early
period to lii «1 the lather of William Sinythies, Vicar of Bel champ in
|ti2:i did not seem likely to be advanced by establishing the connexion
between Dorothy Lady Sinythes and Sir Arthur, investigation of this
question ha* not been carried further at present.
A hot her line of research, which seems more likely to justify the time
ii ml trouble which would be required to follow it up, is that connected
with William Hmitln-H (*iV), who Wiiti engaged in a lawsuit with Anne
Wyntt and others in 1027-28 regarding the purchase of the Manors of
Killingwoith and Ktidfin (see p. 78). This William may have been
identical with William Sinythes of Cardington (33 on p. 2!»),ainl William
Smythes of Fleet Street (800 p. 29), but on the other hand he may
have been William Sinythes (11 on p. 24), sou of George Sinythes of
Wriiif,'toii, about whom more information would he most interesting.
It may seem strange that these matters have not been fully investi-
gated before the publication of this work, but to anyone who lias
attempted genealogical research it will be known that practically there is
no end to possible sources of information, and that as each one is tried
other* Hiiggest themselves. It was tempting to continue the search and
delay the publication until every bit of information desired had been
obtained, but had that been done, and the opportunity of publishing
which presented itself not taken, it might, have resulted in all that is
contained in this volume being left imprinted — a mass of manuscript
notes more or less unintelligible to anyone but the Compiler.
Xll INTRODUCTION.
Iii these circumstances it seemed best to stop further research for the
present and publish at once the records already collected, leaving to the
future the task of elucidating- those details in the early part of the
Pedigree shortly before and after the year 1G00 which still remain
obscure. More especially did this seem desirable, since the very fact of
the publication might be the means of obtaining the desired information.
To allow for additions a set of blank pages has been bound into each
volume, so that on these can be entered not only further details regarding
the past, but records of births, deaths, marriages, and other events of
interest in the future as they occur. Extra illustrations and newspaper
cuttings relating to the Family can also be inserted if desired.
The book has been provided with a large number of illustrations, in
the hope that this will add to its value and interest both to those now
living and to future generations. The reproductions have been executed
by Messrs. George Pullman and Sons, Limited, whose excellent work is
well known, and much credit is due to them for the trouble they have
taken to secure the best results from the materials available.
To Messrs. Mitchell Hughes and Clarke, the publishers, special thanks
are due for the interest and skill they have shewn in bringing this work
to a successful conclusion.

In March 1869, Part XL, p. 90 of the " Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,"
a reproduction was published of the Exemplification of Arms aud Grant of Crest to^
George Smithes of the Court of Wike in the Countie of Somerset, gent., dated
1002, and in a footnote it was stated that the original exemplification was then in
possession of Francis Smythies, Esq., of Colchester. This document is still in
possession of the family, and an effort has been made by Major Raymond Smythies,
the present representative of the eldest branch, with the assistance of the late
Dr. George Marshall, York Herald, to draw up a complete pedigree of the Smythies
family from the time of the above-mentioned grant, and earlier, to the present day.
Unfortunately, before the completion of the pedigree, Dr. Marshall died, and
one link in the chain of ancestry at the end of the sixteenth century still remains
to be found. The link required is one connecting Rev. William Smythies, M.A.,.
Vicar of Walter-Belchamp, Essex, in 1623, with his elder contemporary George
Suiythcs* the grantee above mentioned, Alderman and Sheriff of London. Dr.
Marshall was engaged in making researches with a view to establishing this link
when his illness and lamented death put an end, for the time being, to the in-
vestigation of the matter.
In a letter written in 1901 he says, "No doubt we shall get the missing link
sooner or later," and in another letter written about the same time, he writes, " I
should think William the brother of the Alderman is our man." This William was
it younger brother of the grantee, and is referred to in his father's will, dated 1584
(h, Windsor), us then under age. Since, however, George the elder brother was at
this dale 21, it in probable that William was not much underage, but even if we allow
for n lar^c iliHercuec in the age of the brothers there would still be ample time for the
younger one lo marry and Itceoine the father of William Smythies who was appointed
Vicar of Hclchamp in 1623. Unfortunately tin; will of William, brother of the
Alderman, can not \ta found, aud that of William, Vicar of Belehamp, makes no
mention of his parents, who were probably dead at the time it was made (1652).
It may lie, however, that the lather of the Vicar of Belchamp was not William
brother of the Alderman. Me may have been the son of John, another and elder
brother, or of Thomas, John, or George of the Ubley branch of the family, or of
one of the sons of George of Wriugton. In the absence of documentary proof
the matter for the present must remain uncertain, but it has been thought
desirable not to delay any longer placing on record the pedigree of the Smythies
family, which has been satisfactorily established from the present day to William
Huiythies who was Vicar of Belchnmp in 16.';!, and in addition to give that earlier
|Hirtioii which ik known, but which at present requires a connecting link to combine
it with the rest.
• In tlio grant the nnnio In N|M'lt Bmithes, but tlio grantee In IiIb will sinus his unraa Smythes,
mid thii In tho shelling evidently nsually used at the time, though the name is often Count) spelt
in different ways in the name document. Krum tho time of William Smythies of Qoslields he
nnil hin descendant!, n fur u in known, have themselves alwnya spelt the family name
Smythies, though in print and In early documents it is frequently misspell.
The following circumstances suggest tlie direction in which a clue may
eventually be found to the connecting link : —
1. Elizabeth, daughter of John Smythes of Wrington, married Robert Goodwyn
and was a contemporary of William Sinythies of Wituesliam, who as executor
to his will selected his "dear friend Mr. Robert Goodwin."
2. William Smythies of Witneshain, judging from his appointments to St. Mary
Matfelon, St. Giles's, Cripplegate, and St. Michael's, Coruhill, evidently had
interest in the City of London.
3. William Sinythies, Rector of Mile End, Colchester (son of William Smythies of
Witneshain), followed two rectors (William and Thomas) of the name of
Eyre, and before them Thomas Salwate (or Salwey) was tiie rector. Ap-
pointments to livings being much influenced by family connections these
names are significant, for Hester Smythes, daughter of George the Alder-
man, married Christopher Eyre, aud George Smythes himself, in his will
(proved 1G15), refers to his "coseu Arthur Salwey."
4. The widow of Thomas Sinythies of Lavenham (younger son of William Smythies,
Rector of Mile End) owned a farm called Wallass's or Wollis's, and this name
is the same as the maiden name of the wife of George Smythes the Aldermau,
which is found spelt Woolhouse, Wollis, etc. It is possible, therefore, that
the farm may have been the property of Mrs. George Smythes (afterwards
Lady Savage), and have descended from her to Thomas Smythies of Laven-
ham.
5. William Smythes of Fleet Street, in a will dated 20 November 1057, and proved
in London 16 December following (521, Ruthen), made bequests to his son
William Smythes, to his son-in-law Robert Tilney, and to his grandchildren
John, Sarah, Mary, aud Elizabeth Tilney, as well as to his wife Elizabeth.
The place of this William in the pedigree is still uncertain, but since his
son William was alive in 1657 he can hardly have been the father of William
Sinythies of Gosfields, unless there has been some error made in the records.
That William of Gosfields and the testator were nearly related is, however,
strongly suggested by the fact that Isaac Smythies, son of the former, was
appointed Vicar of Dagenham on the death of Tilneij, 2 October 1663.

TO THE
The Smythes* of Wrington and Wyke Court, Yattox, co. Somerset.
(1) Wittus Smithes de Wrington in com Somset de familia
eodeni no'ie in com Lancaster.
(2) Johannes Smythes.^p
Will'ua Smythes de Wyke in com Som'set &=p fil Godlowe
de Aula K3 (see 27, below). I de Bristow mercatoris.
I I
Joh'es Smythes filius & hseres. Georgius Smithes de London.
(See 32, below.) (See 33, below.)
The above pedigree is recorded in Vincent MS. 141,111, which professes to be
a copy of the Visitation of Somerset in 1573. Nothing more is known of (1) and
(2). The will of Will'us Smythes de Wyke (27) was proved in 1585, and his sons
Joh'es and Georgius are mentioned therein (see below).
(3) The will of Robert Smythes of Bristol, dated 30 July 1585, contains the
following : " 1 give and bequeath unto Elizabeth my wife the halfe of all mye
household stuffe, my lesser silver salte double guilt .... my percell guilt bowle
.... etc and in consideration that she will bring uppe the child Thomas
Smithes whom I have taken to bringe uppe at scoole in learninge and maintayne
him clenely and well .... I give unto her twentye pounds yerely to be paide
oute of the personage of Wrington .... and doe give and leave the same to
Jessey my sonne that he shall take good order for the same and for the childe
brought uppe as he hiraselfe was wherewith I charge him as deeply as a father
maye his sonne." The relationship of the child Thomas Smithes is not mentioned.
The will continues : " I give unto my Aunte Margaret Bolton twentye five shillinges
eight pence to be paide yerely out of the personage of Wrington .... to my neighbour
Thomas Coleman .... my black satin doublett uncut (and) my best velvet night cappe
to be delivered immediately uppou my decease .... unto Joane Whoper my wives
daughter my second best gowne faced with velvet and the rest of my goods move-
* In the early (Somersetshire) portion of the pedigree the spelling Smythes has been adopted,
except in quotations, this being apparently the form of the name usually preferred by members
of the family, but in the documents quoted it will be seen that the spelling varied greatly, the
forms Smithes, Smithies, Smythes, Smythics, Smethes, and Smeethes all being used. The la<t
form Smeethes probably indicates most nearly the way in which the name was pronounced.
I
23
able and immoveable I doe give and bequeath to Jessey my sonne whome I make
myne executor .... and I do ordayne and make my good cozens Mr George Badram
and John Smithes the sonne of George Smithes my brother overseers .... givinge
them full power .... duringe the tyme of my said Sonne's beiuge in the Queenes
maiesties service in Ireland."' (12, Windsor.) "
That Robert Smythes was the brother of Wittus Smythes de Wyke, and con-
se(|iiently son of Johannes Smythes is shewn by the will of William, dated 1584
(8, Windsor) ; that his wife was a widow named Elizabeth Whoper with a daughter
named Joane, and that he had a son Jessey, is shewn by his own will quoted above.
(4) George Smythes of Wrington, his son John, and several of his grand-
children are referred to in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, collated with 1445, fo. 4!)'',and
155!), fo. 101 [See (7) and (15 to 21), below.] That George Smythes was the
brother of William Smythes de Wyke and therefore son of Johannes Smythes, is
shewn by the will of William Smythes de Wyke, dated 15S4 (8, Windsor). An
entry recording the burial of George Smith [sic] at Wrington on 22 July 1590
in the parish registers probably refers to George Smythes. He certainly was alive
in 1584, since his brother "William made him overseer of his will in that year.
(5) Edward Smythes, William, George, and Robert Smythes are all referred to
in the will of Thomas Smythes of Ubleight, dated 15G7 (12, Babington), as his
brothers. Their relationship to each other and to Johannes Smythes their father is
thus established. A bequest iu the same will " to my brother Edward's daughter"
shews that Edward was married and had a child, but neither the name of the wife
nor of the daughter is given.
(0) Jessey Smythes is referred to in the will of his father Robert Smythes (3)
quoted above, also in the will of his uncle Thomas Smythes (22) ns " my brother
Robert's child." ' J
(7) John Smythes of Wrington is shewn by the Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc.
(see I, above), to have been the son of George Smythes of Wriugton ; to have
married J wine, daughter of ... . Dorrington, and to have had a sou John, set. 25
iu li;:'3, and six daughters. There is a short pedipree at the Heralds' College
embodying similar information, and in addition shewing that John Smythes of
W rington bore the same arms and crest as his cousin George Smythes the Alder-
man (see 31, below), but with a crescent for second branch. George Smythes the
Alderman refers to him in his will, dated 1014, as his cozen John Smythes of
W rington, and Robert Smythes of Bristol (3) also refers to him in his will, dated
15MI, as " John Smithes the sonne of George Smithes mye brother."
The will of John Smythes, dated 6 June 1026, is a valuable document. It
confirms the information given in Harl. MSS. regarding his children, and supple-
ments it by giving the Christian name of the daughter married to James Bisse as
Mary, the Christian name of the daughter married to Nicholas Harvey as Sarah,
the Christian name of his son John's wife as Sara, the Christian name of the hus-
IhiijiI ol hi. daughter Judith as John, and further, by recording the marriage of his
daughter Joane (shewn as unmarried in Harl. MSS.) to Richard Chichester. In it
the ti-Btulur will* •' io be buried in the church of Wrington neere unto the place
where inv bonne John Smithes was lately buried," and makes bequests to " the
pome of Wriugton ; Johaue my wile; my e'osen William Strode; my son-in-law John
Cones Elizabeth Godwyu my daughter, the wife of Robert Godwyn ; my daughter
Saru llarvio, wile of Nicholas liarvie ; my daughters Jane Barnard, wife of Edward
Barnard, gent. ; Mary Bisse, wife of James Bisse, gent. ; Johane Chichester, wife
of Richard Chichester, gent. ; and Judith Taverner, wife of John Tavemer, gent. ;
Susan Passion my kinswoman ; my brother-in-law John Bickombe, gent, j my
daughter-in-law Mary Cope; my daughter-in-law Sara Smithes, a widowe ; my
grandchild Johane Strode, etc.
24
Proved by Joane Smythes the widow at London on 2 September 1626.
(109, Hele.)
The will of Joane Smythes of Wrington, widow of the above, is dated 2 May
1C38. In it, after expressing a wish to be buried in the church of Wrington " before
my seat," she makes bequests "unto my daughter Elizabeth Godwin, my daughter
Mary Cope, my daughter Jane Barnard, my daughter Sarah Diar, my daughter
Joane Chichester, my daughter Judith Tavernor ; my grandchildren Edward God-
win, Sarah Harvey, Elizabeth Godwin, Anna Godwin, Joane Godwin, and Thomas
Godwin ; two daughters Katherine and Joane ; my daughter Mary Bysse ; ....
my sonn-in-lawe Edward Barnard and my grandson William Strode to be overseers.
Witnessed by Edw. Barnard and George Foorde, and proved 2 July 163!) in
P.C.C. by Mary Bisse, daughter and executrix named.
N.B. — John Smythes refers to John Cope as his son-in-law and Mary Cope as
his daughter-in-law ; Joane Smythes refers to Mary Cope as her daughter. From
this it seems likely that Mary Cope was a daughter of Joane Smythes by a previous
marriage. A daughter, Sarah Diar, is also mentioned by Joane Smythes, but not
by her husband under that name ; she is, however, probably identical with Sarah
Harvie, who may have become a widow and remarried in the interval between the
wills. A daughter Katherine left £10 by Joane Smythes is not mentioned by
John Smythes, and her name has not been included in the pedigree. The Parish
Registers of Wrington, however, record that " Katherine d. of John Smythes " was
baptized there 16 June 1602. A granddaughter Johane Strode is mentioned by
John Smythes and a grandson William Strode by Joane Smythes. These may have
been children of Katheriue Smythes above mentioned, but her marriage is not
recorded at Wrington.
(8) Thomas Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record that "Tho-
mas s. of George Smithes" was baptized •>() May 1555, and that on 13 February 1570
" Thomas Smithies" was buried.
(9) Timothy Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record the baptism
of "Tymothye s. of George Smythe(s) " on 14 December 1565, and the burial of
"Timothy Smythes" 1 October 1566.
(10) George Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record the baptism
of "George s. of George Smithes" on 11 November 1569, and the burial of
"George Smythe(s) " on 23 August 1570.
(11) William Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record the baptism
of "William s. of George Smithes" on 7 October 1576. Between this date and
1626 there is no record of a William Smythes having been buried at Wrington.
He is not referred to in the will of his brother Gideon (1609) or the will of his
brother John (1626), and no further information regarding him has yet been
obtained. He may have gone to London or the eastern counties, and, marrying at
about the age of twenty-three, become the father of William Smythies of Gosfields.
Having regard to all the ascertained facts this seems most probable.
(12) Gideon Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record the baptism
of "Gedion s. of George Smithe(s) " on 5 June 1579, and the burial of "Gideon
Smithies " on 30 September 1609. His will, dated 12 Septemberand proved P.C.C,
17 November 1609 (99, Dorset), shews that his wife's Christian name was Elizabeth,
and that he had a sou living named George (see 14, below).
(13) Edward Smythes. The Parish Registers at Wrington record that " Ed-
ward s. of George Smithes " was baptized 5 June 1583. Between this date and
1626 there is no record of an Edward Smythes being buried at Wrington. He is
25
not referred to in the will of his brother Gideon (1G09) or the will of his brother
John (1626), itml nothing more is known regarding him.
(14) George Smythes is mentioned in the will of his father Gideon Smythes
(1609), who died at the age of thirty. Nothing more is known regarding him.
(15) Jane Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington, is
mentioned in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc. (see 4 and 7, above). She was married
to Edward Barnard at Wrington on 28 December 1G0G (Par. Keg. Wrington), and
both she and her husband are mentioned in her father's will (1626).
(1G) Elizabeth Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington,
is mentioned in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc. (see 4 and 7, above). The Parish
Registers record that " Elizabeth d. of John Smithes" was baptized at Wrington
on 22 June 1595. Her father's will shews that at the time. of his death (1626)
she was married to Robert Godwyn (or Goodwyn), and her mother's will (1638)
gives the names of her children Edward, Elizabeth, Anua, Joaue, and Thomas.
The name of Robert Goodwyn is of interest owing to the fact that William Sumhies
of Witneshain (Pedigree 21, 10) by his will, dated 1714, made his "dear friend
Mr Robert Goodwin" executor of his will. William Smythies was born in 1G35,
and it seems likely that the Robert Goodwyn he mentions may have been a son of
Robert Goodwyn and Elizabeth Smythes, born in or after 1638.
(17) John Smythes, xt. 25 in 1623, is shewn by Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc.
(see 4 and 7, above) to have been the son of John Smythes of Wrington, and to
have married a daughter of . . . . Fowen of Bristol. The Parish Registers of Wring-
ton record that he was buried there on 4 May 1G26. His father refers to him in his
will, dated 6 June 1626, as "lately buried," and also mentions his widow Sara.
It is evident from this will that. John Smythes, jun., and Sara Fowen had no
children.
In "Alumni Ox.," iv., John Smythes is recorded as having matriculated at
Brasenose College, Oxford, 2G May 1609, and become a Student at the Middle
Temple 1611.
(18) Mary Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington,
is referred to as "a da." married to James Bisse in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc. (see
4 and 7, above). The Parish Registers record that " Mary d. of John Smithes "
was baptized at Wrington 21 October 1599. Her father's will shews that her
name was Mary, and that at the time of his death (1626) she was married to James
Bisse. She proved her mother's will, dated 1638, on 2 February 1639.
(19) Sarah Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington, is
referred to as " a da." married to Nicho. Harvey in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc. (see
4 and 7, above). The Parish Registers record that " Sarah d. of John Smithes "
was baptized at Wrington 12 February 1597-8. Her father's will shews that her
name was Sarah, and that at the time of his death (1626) she was married to Nicho-
las Harvey. Her mother's will (1638) refers to her and to her daughter Sarah.
(20) Judith Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington,
is mentioned in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31 (see 4 and 7, above). The Parish
Registers record that "Judith d. of John Smeethes"was baptized at Wrington
24 June 1608, and that she was married to John Tavernor at Wrington on
1 January 1622. (From this it would appear that she was under 14 when married.)
Both she and her husband are mentioned in the will of her father (1G2G).
(21) Joane Smythes, one of the six daughters of John Smythes of Wrington,
is mentioned as unmarried in Harl. MS. 1141, fo. 31, etc. (see 4 and 7, above).
E
26
The Parish Registers record that " Juhanna d. of John Smythes" was baptized at
Wrington 22 September 1605, and that she was married to Richard Chichester at
Wrington on 22 May 1625. Both she and her husband are mentioned in the will
of her father (1626).*
(22) Thomas Smythes of Ubleight (Ubley, near Bristol), co. Somerset, in his
will dated 10 March 1567, after expressing his wish to be buried in the church of
Ubleight, makes the following bequests : " .... to William Busshe (and others),
each 20s. ; .... to my brother William Smythes' children, my brother George
Smythes' children, and my brother Robert's child, £40, ecpually divided ; .... to
my brother Edward's daughter 40s. ; .... to Thomas my son all my lands, tene-
ments, rents, reversions, and services in Axbridge, Cheddar, and Compton for life,
with remainder to my son John and his heirs for ever ; .... to the said Thomas
£200 at 21 ; .... to George my son all my lands and tenements in Boltonsborougii
for life, witli remainder to John my son and his heirs for ever ; also £200 to the
said George at 21 ; .... to my son John £400 at 21, also my lease of my manor
house in Ubleight and of the park there with the lands, etc.. provided always that
Elizabeth my wife have the profit thereof during her life ; .... to my said four
brothers my lease of the manor of Dreiton to the use of my daughter Susan and
to the child my wife goeth withal ; .... my brother Robert Smythes to have my
interest in the parsonage of Wrington ; . . . . my tenants of Balchborowe ; . . . .
Elizabeth my wife, whom I make executrix, to have the residue of my goods ; . . . .
my said four brothers, John Walche, and Thomas Williams to be overseers."
Witnessed by William Busshe, William Hawll (?), William Sallwey, and Ellen

(28) William Smythes was the third sou of William Smythcs (if Wyke Court,
and with his elder brother George proved his father's will (see 27, above). The
two brothers were joint residuary legatees, and a dispute may have; arisen between
them as to the division of the properly, or William may have died; but however
that may be, no mention is made by (ieorge in his will, dated 1014, of either of his
brothers' John or William or of any children of theirs. Either John or William
may have been the father of William Sinythies of Gosfields.
(-".!) .... Smythes, a daughter of William Smythes of Wyke Court, married
lo Thomas Pannynter, whom William Smythes refers to in his will as his son (see
27, above).
(.SO) John Smythes of Compton, son of William Smythes of Wyke Court (see
27 and 28, above). The Parish Registers of Wrington record the baptism of a
John Smithes 22 June 1544, who may have been John Smythes of Compton.
(31) George Smythes (so spelt in the signature to his will) was born circa 1563.§
Fie was admitted to Gray's Inn 14 March 1608-9 (Adm. Reg. Gray's Inn). A
member of the Goldsmiths' Company, he was Prime Warden in 1610-11, and Alder-
man of Bridge from 30 April 1611 till his death in 1615. In 1611 he was elected
Sheriff of Loudon, and there is a note in the records of the Goldsmiths' Company
that a gratuity of £100 was given to him on his election " towards the tryming of
his house and other charges in the time of his Shrievalty." His arms (Argent, a
chevron azure between three oak-leaves vert, each charged with an acorn or) were
exemplified and a crest granted to him (^1 demi-arm azure and hand proper, holding
a branch of oak-leaves with acorns or, set in a wreath of his colours) on 9 March
* Probably the same person as John Smythes of Wrington, whose fattier George Smythes of
AVrington was still alive in 1584.

§ He was recorded on his monument in St. Mary's Steyning as aged 52 when he died, 1 1 July
1615, but in his father's will, dated 3 September 1584-5, he is spoken of as under age. If he was
52 when he died it is obvious that he must have been 21 before 11 July 15S4. It may be that
he was not 52, but in his 52nd year at the time of his death, or possibly his father's will was
drafted some little time before it was signed and dated.

1602. This document, signed by William Dethick, Garter Principal King of Arms,
and William Camden, Clarencieux King of Arms,* is now, and has been for
generations, in possession of the Essex family of .Smythies, descended from William
Smythies of Gosfields (Vicar of Belchamp Walter, co. Essex, in 1623). In March
186'J, being then in possession of Francis Smythies, Esq., of Headgate House,
Colchester, it was published in " Miscellanea Genealogica et Herald ica " (Series I.,
Part XL, p. 9G) ; it is now the property of his son. In the grant George Smythes
is described as "of ye Court of Wike in the Countie of Somerset, gent., descended
of that name in the Countie of Lancaster." From this it would appear that by
1602 he was in full possession of Wike Court, which by his father's will was, with
all other property, except certain legacies and annuities, left jointly to George and
his brother William, the inference being that William had either died or sold his
rights to his brother. As regards his descent in the County of Lancaster, we find
tins referred to also in the Vincent MS. quoted above, and since there are frequent
mentions of the name in early records of the northern counties of Northumberland,
York, and Lancaster, there seems no justification for concluding that the descent
was merely conjectural. f
On 12 April 1588 a licence (Mar. Lie. Chester and Loudon) was granted for
the marriage of George Smythes, described as " of S' Mathew, Friday Street, Gold-
smith,-' and " Sara Woolhouse, spinster, of Sl Magnus, London, da. of Anthony
Woolhouse, haberdasher, deceased, gen.," also of St. Magnus, London, and of Chap-
well, co. Derby.
The Funeral Certificate of George Smithes (College of Arms, Book I., 16,
p. 372b) shews that he died in July 1615, and was buried at St. .Mary's Steyning
on 10 August following ; that he had four sous, Arthur (the eldest), William, and
two named George, who died young, also a daughter Hester, who married Christo-
pher Evre, Esq., of Wilts, Citizen and Merchant of London, and a daughter Eliza-
beth, who married Edward Semster (Anne, Frances, and Goodlifie are not mentioned).
His wife is described as Sara, daughter of Anthone Wollis [sic} of the county of
Derby, gent., late Citizen and Haberdasher of London. His son William is recorded
as chief mourner at the funeral, and it is stated that he left a will.
George Smythes' will, dated 25 February 1614, is an interesting document of
great length. l!y it he leaves, with certain provisos regarding a life interest to his
wife, etc.^ the manors of Ladysbury and Obden, co. Worcester, to bis son Arthur,
and the manor of Templeton in Berkshire to his son William. No mention is made
of the Wike Court estate, which had presumably been sold. To the Goldsmiths'
Company he bequeaths " one guilt Standynge Cupp of the value of thirty and five
pounds with my name and armes to be set thereupon " (this is no longer in
possession of the Company and was no doubt melted down with other plate during
the Civil AVar), also a legacy of forty-six pounds, and in addition he directs that a
banquet shall be given at Goldsmiths' Hall on the day of his funeral. This

t The following are a few references to the name in the north which seem worth noting : —

Harl. MS. 782, reprinted (1827) by Sir H. Nicholas in his "Story of Agincouit.'' The Duke

banquet was duly held, and the following memorandum in the hooks of the Gold-
smiths' Company records the event : " 12 Jas. I. 1614.* On Tuesday the 1 1th July
instant the Right Worshipful and worthy member of the Oity, George .Smithes,
Alderman, departed this transitory life, and on Thursday the 10th August following
he was interred in the chauncel of the parish church of S< Marye Steyning, there
being present at the funeral the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of the City,
with many of the Aldermen, lift brethren, and other worshipful persons, who dined
at Goldsmiths' [Tall that day. The Wardens gave license to M,s Smithes to have
the use of the Hall, plate, linen, and other necessaries for the funeral dinner. The
plate, etc., she is to receive by inventory, and re-deliver in good plight, without
prejudice or charge to the Company the next day after the funeral at the latest."
The will further contains bequests of a cup value £20 to the city of Bristol ;
ten pounds to the poor of Wrington and Yatton " at the discretion of my cosen
Mr John Smythes of Wrington ;" "gownes worth twenty shillings a piece " to fifty-
four "poor Goldsmythes ;" " ringes with deathes heades worth forty shillings" to
"my Lady Pemherton, my Lady Jennynges, my brother Barnard, my brother
• Woolhonse, my cosen Arthur Salwey, my cosen John Smythes," and several others ;
and "ringes worth twenty shillings a piece" to " my cosen Susane Grub, my cosen
William Smythes," and others.
Besides his sons Arthur and William he mentions his daughter Hester and her
husband Christopher Eyre, his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Edward
Senister, and his daughter Anne.
The will was proved by Sarah Smythes, the widow, on 18 July 1015 (07, Rudd).
A concise account of George Smythes and his wife Sara Woolhouse, who
married secondly General Sir Arthur Savage, is given in "The London and Middle-
sex Note Book," by W. P. W. Phillimore/M.A.,"B.C.L. (published 1892).
(82) Sir Arthur Smythes, the eldest son of Alderman George Smythes (Funeral
Oert. of George Smithes, Coll. of Arms), was left by his father the manors of
Ladyshury ntid Obdcn, eo. Worcester, also property in Gloucestershire (will of
George Smythes, 07, Rudd). He was knighted 26 February 1028-4, and was still
living in 1 i'..".;i ("London and Middlesex Note Book"). In 1031—33 he was
Sheriff of WiiremUtr (Calendar of State Papers, 1031—33, p. 88, etc.).
(83) William Smythes of ("aldington, co. Bedford (Pedigree, Coll. of Arms,
1). 21, :i:i), Hon of Alderman George Smythes, was left by his father the manor of
Tomplcton, cri. Berks (will of George Smythes, 07, Rudd). He was chief mourner
lit his father's funeral (Funeral Certificate of George Smithes, College of Arms).
Matriculated ill St. John's College, Oxford, III February 1018, ;et. 15 (Alumni
Oxoniensis, iv.), and was admitted a student of Gray's Inn 1 August 1619 (Foster's
"Gray's Inn Registers"). He proved the will of his mother, Lady Savage (20U,
Alehiu), 3 June 1054. His marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of .... Cutts, is
recorded in a pedigree at the College of ArniB registered by his son William
(l>. 24,3'.)).
The above William Smythes may he the same person as William Smythes of
Fleet Street, whose will (521, Ruthen), dated 20 November and proved at Loudon
10 December 1057 by Elizabeth Smythes his widow, contains the following : —
"In primis I give and bequeath unto my sonne William Smythes the summe
of fiftie pounds. Item I give and bequeath unto my loving 6onne in lawe Master
Joseph llobson and unto my loving sone in Lawe Master Robert Tilney the
summe of Twenty pounds a peece to buy mourning for themselves and their wives
to wear in my remembrance. Item I give and bequeath unto my grandchild
* Prom this it would appear that George Smythes died on 11 July 1GI4, not 1(515. The in-
scription on his monument and his funeral certificate at the College of Arms, however, give
1(115 as the date, and his will was proved on 18 July 1615.

man, etc.
N.B. — No mention is made of any children of the testator's son William, which
is strange if William of Cardington and William of Fleet Street are the same, for
William of Bedford, son of the former, had at least two children, Mary and William
[see below (41) and (42)], born before 1657. There are details, however, in the
will which suggest that father and son were not on the best of terms.
(34) Hester Smythes, daughter of Alderman George Smythes, is mentioned by
her father in his will, also her husband Christopher Eyre of Wiltshire, Citizeu and
Merchant of London (George Smythes' will, 67, Rudd, and his Funeral Certificate
at the College of Arms).
(35) Elizabeth Smythes, daughter of Alderman George Smythes, is mentioiK
by her father in his will, also her husband Edward Semster of Herts, Citizen ai
Goldsmith of London (George Smythes' will, 67, Rudd, and his Funeral Certificat
College of Arms).
(36) Anne Smythes, daughter of Alderman George Smythes, is ineutioned in
her father's will (67, Rudd). She was aged nine in 1615, was about to be married
with the consent of the Court in 1624, and was living as Anne Vernon in 1653
(Phillimore's " London and Middlesex Note Book.")
(37) There were two sons named George of Alderman George Sinythes who
died young (Funeral Certificate at the College of Arms). There were also two
daughters, Frances and Goodlitl'e, who died in their father's lifetime (Phillimore's
" London and Middlesex Note Book ").
(38) William Smythes of Bedford, son of William Smythes (33), the son of
Alderman George Smythes, registered his pedigree from his grandfather (College
of Arms, D. 24, 39). In this pedigree the details are very meagre, but we learn
from it that William, son of the Alderman, was "of Cardington, co. Bedford,"
and that he married " Eliz. da. of Cutts," also that William who registered the
pedigree had two sisters Eliz. and Mary (39 and 40), and married Mary, daughter
of John Mauley of Willshamsted, co. Bedford, and that by her he had the following
children: Mary, William, ret. 15 anno 1669, John, Richard, Arthur and Mathew
(41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46).
(39) Elizabeth Smythes and (40) Mary Smythes, sisters of William Smythes of
Bedford (College of Arms, I). 24, 39).

PEDIGREE 3.
The Smythies of Essex and Suffolk.
(A 1) William Smythies of Gosfields and Walter Belehamp, co. Essex.* The
Parisli Kegister of Walter Belehamp, co. Essex, begins in the year 1632 with the
baptismal entry of " W™ Smitheis son of William ami Ann his wife." A sub-
sequent entry records that this child died and was buried in 1634. In the year
1635 another son was born and named William. The entry is as follows : " 1635,
Smytheis, William, son of William and Anne his wife. Baptized March 3." The
first few entries arc followed by a note : " In this year ye Visitors requiring- all ye
names of children baptized to be written in this (parchment) booke out of ye
pap (paper) booke there uppon we »oe back to ye yeare 1559," and amongst the
entries previous to 1032 is one of the burial of John Smythies, son of William, in
1626. Another entry, recording the baptism of a child named Marie Mathew on
8 October 1643, concludes with the words: "by me William Smythies whoe was
inducted Julv 7"' 1623 and left ye Cure this October 8th, 1643." The period
during which William Smythies held the living of Walter Belehamp is thus fixed.
The Register of Students at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, records that on
4 dune 1617 William Smythies was admitted to that College. The date when he
took his degree is not mentioned, but the Subscription Book for lf!27— 44. fo. 78,
St. Paul's Cathedral, contains the following entry (translation): "I, William
Smythies, Master of Arts, Vicar of Walter Belehamp, admitted to preach and teach
God's Word in the church (of Walter Belehamp) and other churches in the
Diocese." Signed Gulielmus Smythies, and dated 6 March 103G.
In the return made in 1C50 of the Ministers and Elders in the various " Classes "
of Essex there is this entry : —
•' Gosfield— Rect. Impropriate, £40; Possessor, Lord Dacre ; Vicarage, £40 ;
Incumbent, Will. Smythies, by sequestration from John Crosse. He is an able
Preaching and Godly Minister. Patron, Lord Dacre." (Lansdowne MS. 459,
fo. 128.)
The exact date when William Smythies went to (iosfield is not known, but
probably it was between 1647 and lCoO.t He held the living till his death in
1652. His burial at Gosfield is thus recorded in the Parish Registers : " William
Smythes, Minister of this Parish, burved September ye 13th, 165:.'."
The will of William Smythies of Gosfields in the County of Essex, Gierke,
dated 26 March 1652, contains the following : " First I give to the poore of
Walter Belehamp and Gosfields 20s. I giue to Anne my loving wife all that my
tenement and lands which I bought of Robert Plum, situate in the said Walter
Belehamp and County aforesaid with th'apcrtenances during her naturall life . . . .
and the remainder to Isaac Smythies my soue and his heires for ever, provided
that if my said wife dep' this life before my sou Willim come to his age of 24
* AUmi 10:27 John Raymond, of the Hertfordshire family of that name, bought the
Belehamp Hall estate from Sir J. Wentwortb, and in 1035 was buried at Belehamp (Berry's
" Genealogies," Essex). The families of Smythies and Raymond must therefore have been
known to each other at this time, a matter of some interest, having regard to the subsequent
intimate connection by marriage between the two families. [See Pedigree A (53, 59, 61, and
(it;) and Pedigree IS (01), also Notes to Pedigree A (111) and Pedigree B (01).]
John Raymond was a member of the County Committee for the selection of " Ministers,"
and it was probably through him that William Smythies was appointed to tiostield after his
resignation of the living of Belehamp Walter in 1643.
+ John Crosse was sequestered in 101 1 and his sequestration confirmed before August 164o.
The charges against him are set forth in Coles M.S., xxviii.. pp. 28, 29, Brit. Museum. But
between John Crosse and William Smythies there was for a short time an incumbent named
John Norton, about whom very little is known. From the following entry in the Go-field
Register it is, however, clear that he was incumbent of Gosfield in 10-10: 'Mary Norton, the
daughter of Mr John Norton, ye Vicor, nnd Maryc, his wife, was baptized ye '.»'" day of Jully,
1640.'' (From " Notes on Gosfield," by Rev. H. L. Elliot, Vicar. Tar. Mag., lSS'J.)

the said two acres."

AVestminster 26 Sept. 1653 by Anne Smythies, the widow (32, Brent).
(A 2) Isaac Smythies of Dagenham was left property in AYalter Belchamp by
his father William Smythies (A 1 ). The Register at Emmanuel College, Cambridge,
records the entry of Isaac Smythies 18 May 1831). The date when he took his
A.B. degree is not given, but he is noted as A.M. 1G46.

John Smythies, son of William, in 1626. (See A 1 above.)
(A 4) William Smythies. The Walter Belchamp Registers record the baptism
in 1632 of " Smytheis, William, son of William and Ann his wife," and the burial
in 1634 of William Smythies, son of William. In the following year, another son
having been born, he was also named William in accordance with a common custom
of the time. (See A 1 above.)
(A 5 to A 9). See pedigree.
(A 10) William Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 1), is recorded in
Emmanuel College Registers as having entered that College in 1651, and taken his
A.B. degree in 1659. In 1660 he was presented by Robert Baldock to the Rectory
of Tacolueston in Norfolk, and held that living till 1671, when he resigned
(Blomfield's "Norfolk," v., 170); after that he was, as is shewn by a family
document (Deed of assignment of the Whitehouse and lands in Witnesham in the
county of Suffolk by Elizabeth Cremer, nee Palmer, widow of Robert Cremer, to
William Smythies, dated 18 March 1673), for a time resident in and probably
Curate of the parish of St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, but during the year 1673
he became Curate-in-charge of the church of St. Giles, Cripplegate, and his name
first appears in the church books as Chairman of the Vestry Meeting held on the
17th April of that year. The titular vicar was one of the bishops, but the position
was in fact filled by William Smythies, who for over thirty years, when religions
feeling ran high and much tact must have been required, condueted the spiritual
affairs of this important parish. The last time his name appears as Curate and
Chairman of the Vestry is in April 1704. In the following June Samuel Buigis
is shewn as Curate and Chairman. The deed quoted above, and others still in

possession of his descendants, shew that during tlie time William Smytlrics was at
Cl'ipplegate lie gradually aei|uired a property known as the Whitehouse and lands
situated in the palish of Witnesham, co. Suffolk, from his wife's relations, the
Palmers, the final deed being a release to him of this property by Charles Palmer,
his brother-in-law, dated 24 September 1G98. To this property he retired in his
old age, and for three years acted as Curate of Witnesham.
On 12 November 1C74, as recorded in the register of St. Giles's, Cl'ipplegate,
the poet John Milton was buried in that church, and William Smythies, being
then Ourate-in-eharge, presumably performed or at any rate assisted at the cere-
mony. Tolerant in his views and charitable to all in distress, he suffered much
abuse and calumny himself through being kind to those whose religions views were
different from his own. His enemies tried to prove that he was disloyal to the
throne, because in one of his sermons he spoke with disapproval of " the Prince of
this World," and some Spiteful people brought it to the ear of the King that he
was "an associate with dissenters," in those days a serious accusation, but he
managed to hold his own and to continue his good works.
As a preacher and religious controversialist he was well known, and a pamphlet
of his entitled "The Benefit of Early Piety," addressed to the three young sons of
his friend Sir Nathaniel Hern, first published in 1684, had in 1729 reached
a fifteenth edition. He is described on the title-page of this pamphlet as
" Morning Lecturer at S1 Michael, Cornhil, London." With Sir R. I'Estrange
("The Observatnr "), who seems to have made it his business to attack the bishops
and prominent clergy, he had a heated controversy, in the course of which he
refers to his experiences before the Hestoration, and says when " 1 had hid myself
in a private place in the Essex Hundreds I was routed thence by one of Oliver's
Agents because my name was then Malignant." ("Three Replies to the
Observator," 1084 ; " The Benefit of Early Piety," 1084 ; "Advice to Apprentices,"

The following entries occur in the Parish Register at Witnesham : —
" 1715. The Reva M1' Wm Smythies, many years Curate of Sl Giles Cripplegate,
in London, and three years Curate of this Parish, was buried in the Churchyard at
the Chancell end. dune 29."
" 1719. M" Hephzibah Smythies, Relict of the Reverend M' Smythies, late of
Cripplegate, buried. Aged 84. May 12. She lies in the South Wing of the
Church amongst her own Relations the Palmers, a Family of Good Sort and
Standing in this Parish tho now reduced."
By his will William Smythies left the Whitehouse, Witnesham, with all the
lands thereunto belonging, to Hephzibah his wife "during her life and after her
decease to my grandson Palmer Smythies and to his heirs .... willing him to pay
yearly to my brother-in-law Charles Palmer forty shillings .... nevertheless if it

1717 (evidently an error for 1714). Proved at London in P.O.C. 15 August 17 lo
by Robert Goodwyn, the executor named (l(J(i, Fagg).
(A 11)^ Robert Smythies was born when William Smythies his father was
Rector of Tacolneston, and his baptism is recorded in the Parish Register as fol-
lows : "An" 1665. Robertas filius Willielmi KmythiuB & Hephziba uxoris ejus
natus fuit quinto die Noveinbris bapti/.atus decimo tcrtio die ejusdem mensis an*
prdicto." The Register of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, contains the following
entry : " 1684, Jun. 25. Smythies, Robert, S.R. Xorf., A.B. 1687."
(A 12) Christopher Smythies was also born when William Smythies his father
was Rector of Tacolneston. His baptismal entry in the Parish Register is as fol-
lows : "1GG0. Christopher filius Wilielmi Smythies & Hephziba uxoris ejus bap-
' tizatus fuit vicesimo octavo (?) die mensis Decembris An0 prdicto." He only lived
two years and a half. His burial is recorded as follows: "1669. Christopher
Smythies sepultns quinto die July."
N.B.— It is likely that James Smythies who is recorded in the College Register
as having entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge, 3 July 1686, was another son of
William Smythies (A 10), born between 1666 and 1673. He is not shewn as
having taken the degree of A.B. , and he is not mentioned in the will of William
Smythies (1714) ; probably therefore, if he was his son, he died young.
(A 18) Peter Smythies was born several years after his elder brothers, when his
father William Smythies was curate-in-charge of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, in the
Registers of which church is the following entry : " Baptisms. Peter s. (son of)
William Smytheis, Clerk, and of Hephzibah, borne 22d December (1673), christened
5th Jati'.v 1674." He " was the youngest son of William Smythies, late of Witnes-
ham in the County of Suffolk, Clerk" (Cardons Hall in Witnesham, Mr. Sergeant
Smythies release of title to the Rev. Mr. Palmer Smythies, dated 12 January 1741),
and had one son named Sergeant Smythies (see A 14, below).
In the deed quoted above he is referred to as " of the City of Norwich." His
wife's name is not known, but the peculiar Christian name given to his son suggests
that her surname may have been Sergeant.
Peter Smythies was left the " coppyhold house lately inhabited by Charles
Palmer with all the coppyhold Lands . . .-. lying in Witnesham" by the will of his
father, proved 1715 (see A 10, above).
(A 14) Sergeant Smythies, the son of Peter Smythies. In a deed, still in the
possession of the family, dated 1 2 January 1741 "(Cardons Hall in Witnesham,
M' Sergeant Smythies' release of Title to the Revd Mr Palmer Smythies), Ser-
geant Smythies is thus cited : ." Sergeant Smythies of the City of Loudon, only son
of Peter Smythies of the City of Norwich in the County of Norfolk, who was the
youngest son of William Smythies, late of Witnesham in the County of Suffolk,
Clerk, deceased." The deed is too long to quote at length. Its object is to remove
a doubt, due to the wording of the will of William Smythies, as to the title of Palmer
Smythies to three acres of land forming part of the property in Witnesham left him
by his grandfather William Smythies, and it records that " Whereas the said Peter
Smythies the father of the said Sergeant Smithies as youugest son of the said
William Smythies was, according to the custom of the said manor, heir of the said
William, the said Palmer Smythies to clear the doubt arising upon his title ....
hath contracted and agreed with the said Sergeant Smythies for all his estate, right
title and interest therein at the price and for the sum of therteen pounds two
shillings and sixpence."
Sergeant Smythies is believed to have died unmarried. Had he had a son, the
son's rights in the Witnesham property, as well as his own, would doubtless have
been renounced in the document quoted above.

(A 1;")) William Sniythies of Mile End,* Colchester, son of William Smyth ies of
Witnesham (A 10). The Parish Registers at Tacolnestou record the baptism of
William Sniythies as follows: "An0 16(33, (iulieinns filius Oulielmi Smycliies &
Hephzibah uxoris ejus baptizatus fuit vicesimo quinto die Martii an" p'dicto."
At Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he graduated A.B. 10VS2 (Grad. Cant. 10'59
to 182:!, B.M.); became Rector of St. Michael's, Mile End, 20 Dec. 1687 (Xewcourt).
In the church of St. Michael, Mile End, is the following mural inscription :
"Juxfca jacet Gulielmus Sniythies hujns Parochise Rector aim. ;;•_', obiit Mar. 7,

His wife's maiden name was Thaniar Farley (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205).
She was daughter and coheiress of Stephen Furley of Colchester.
(A1U) John Sniythies, son of William Sniythies of Witnesham (A 10). The
Parish Registers at Tacolnestou record the baptism of John Sniythies as follows :
" Auu 1664. Johanes filius Willielmi Sniythies & Hephziba uxoris ejus baptizatus
fuit vicesimo secundo die ineusis Aprili An0 p'dicto."
John Sniythies, (Jroton, Clerk, who is mentioned in the Suffolk Poll, 1702,
may be identical with this John. No mention is made of his son John by William
Sniythies in his will (1714), and he was probably dead before that date.
(A 17) William Sniythies of Colchester, son of William Sniythies of Mile End
(A 15), was born 10 January 1698-9 and baptized at St. Michael's, Mile End (Add.
MSS. 19,141), fo. 205). His epitaph in the churchyard of St. Michael's, Mile End,
is as follows: "Near this stone is buried Mr William Sniythies formerly of Col-
chester, Surgeon, who died April 13"', 1772, Aged 75 Years. Deceased was Father
of James Blatch, Esq., whose remains are deposited in the next grave, and brother
of the Rev. P. Sniythies, for many years Rector of this Parish." lie was buried
20 April 1772 (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205).
He married as his 1st wife, 12 February 1734, at St. Mary Magdalen's, Col-
chester, Margarita Richard, daughter of . . . . de Vaudergues, who was buried at
St. Michael's, Mile End, 4 January 1737, and as his 2nd wife Elizabeth, daughter

(A 15), was at Sidney-Sussex Coll., Cambridge, and graduated A.B. 1725 and A.M.
1729 (Grad. Cant. 1059 to 1823, B.M.). He was Master of the Free Grammar School
in Lavenhani from 1732 to 174G (Newcourt's " Repertoriuni," p. 94(1), and in 1743
purchased the living of Alpheton, co. Suffolk, as shewn by the following ; —

By the will of William Smythies of Witnesham Thomas Smythies inherited
a copyhold house in Witnesham,* with all the copyhold lands adjoining (see A 10,
above). This was probably Cardons Hall (see A 31, below).
Thomas Smythies died without issue (affidavit made by Lev. John Smythies
in 1815).

Walasses Farm in Great Maplestead belonged to the widow of the Rev. Thomas
Smythies in 1768 (Morant's " Essex," ii., 280).
(A 19) Yorick Smythies of Colchester, son of William Smythies (A 17) by his
first wile Margarita de Vandergues, was baptized 10 February 1737 at St. Mary-at-
the- Walls, Colchester. He died seised in effect intestate, having made a will and
the devisees therein having all died in his lifetime (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205).
He was buried in the Church of St. Martin, Colchester, where there is the following
inscription ; —
" 1 :i Oct. 1824. Died Yorick Smythies, A.M. of Sl John's College, Cambridge,
son of William Smythies and Margaret de Vandergues, 54 years Rector of this
parish, 59 years Rector of L. Bent ley ; officiating minister of both Churches during

with those of his wife M™ Anne Smythies, daughter of the Revd Thomas Leigh of
Greenwich, who died Jan* 27th 1814, aged 76, are deposited in the middle aisle of
this Church."
He was Chaplain to the Royal Horse Guards 28 Jan. 1705 to 1787 (Army List).
(A 20) William Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 17) by his second wife
Elizabeth Blatch (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205). A note in the Twining Family
Papers, evidently referring to this William Smythies, states that he died a bachelor.
(A 21 ) Anne Smythies, daughter of William Smythies (A 17) by his second wife
Elizabeth lifatch (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205).
(A 22) James Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 17) by his second wife
Elizabeth Blatch, obtained a licence to change his surname to that of Blatch.*
This licence is "entered in the Earl Marshall's Book marked I. :!2." fo. 103, and
dated 11 March 1772. It states that "Whereas our Trusty and well beloved
James Smythies of Colchester in our County of Essex Esqr has by his Petition"
asked to change his surname from Smythies to Blatch, in accordance with the will
of Sarah Edwards, his aunt, who left him a legacy on that condition, "our Will
and pleasure is that you Richard, Earl of Scarborough, Deputy to the said Marshal
.... do require and command that this our concession and Declaration be accord-
ingly registered in our College of Arms .... By his Majesty's Command. (Signed)
Suffolk."
James Blatch and his wife were buried in Mile End Churchyard, and over then-
grave is tile following inscription : —
" Under this stone lie the remains of James Blatch, Esqre, of Sl MaryVat-tbe-
Walls, Colchester, who died December 18U', 1811, Aged G:3. Also under this stone
are deposited the remains of Elizabeth Blatch, widow of the said James Blatch, who
departed this life October 22"d. 1815, Aged 72 years."
Elizabeth Blatch 's maiden name was Dennis (Twining Family Papers). Her
will, dated 9 February 1812, was proved by her son James Blatch, Vicar of Basing-
stoke, 1815 (Family Papers).
(A 23) Charlotte Smythies, daughter of William Smythies (A 17) by his second
wife Elizabeth Blatch, was buried in MUe End Churchyard, and over her grave is
the following inscription : " M1'3 Charlotte Doyle, wife of M1' Joseph Doyle of

tion, leaving two 6ons William and Edward, was buried near her Brother James
Blatch March 20"', 1778, Aged 27. This stone was erected to her Memory by her
nephew James Blatch, Vicar of Basingstoke." Hi bite same churchyard is buried
her son William Smythies Doyle, the inscription stating that he died 28 January
179G, aged 23, and in the Church of All Saints, Colchester, a mural tablet records
the death of her second son Edward Doyle. The inscription on this is somewhat

quaint. It runs : "To the memory of Edward Doyle, Esq., late of Trinity College,
Oxford, and an inhabitant of this parish, who on his return from the Hot Well,
Bristol, where he had been sometime for the recovery of his health, expired suddenly
in his carriage on the 27lh of September 171)3 in the arms of an affectionate Uncle

(A 31) Palmer Smythies, the eldest son of William Smythies of Mile End
(A 15) (Letter dated Probate Registry, Somerset House, 30 June 1881, from
J. C. C. Smith, Esq., to Francis Smythies, Esq., of Colchester), was born 18 Oct.
1691 and baptized at Mile End, Colchester, 23 October following (Par. Reg.). He
was at Sidney-Sussex Coll., Cambridge, became A.B. 1712, A.M. 1716 (Grad. Cant.,
B.M.),and Fellow of his College 1727 (Twining Family Papers). He succeeded his
father as Rector of St. Michael's, Mile End, and was instituted to the living on
28 March 172U (Morant). On 1 September 1721 he was appointed also Rector of
St. Mary Magdalen and Master of King James's Hospital, Colchester. These
latter benefices he held till 1773, when he was succeeded by his sun John.
The first page of the Register of St. Mary Magdalen, Colchester, contains the
following entry : —
" Palmer Smythies appointed Master of the Hospital of King James alias
S< Mary Magdalen Hospital, in Colchester, September 1st, 1721, By Thomas, Lord
(soon after) Earl of Macclesfield, Lord High Chancellor, who at his own cost and
charges fitted up the church for Divine Service after it had been disused at least
ever since the siege of Colchester. The expenses amounted to Fifty-two Pounds
six shillings and eleven pence halfpenny."
The last signature in the Register of Palmer Smythies as " Hosp. Magister " is
dated 21 December 1772. His son John succeeded him in 1773, in which year his
signature as Master appears in the books.
In addition to his other appointments Palmer Smythies held the position of
Master of the Royal Grammar School, Colchester, to which post he was elected on
20 December 1727, and held the Mastership till 1776, the year of his death, when
he was succeeded by the Rev. Samuel Parr.
The title of Royal Grammar School was conferred by Letters Patent 31 of
39
Henry VIII., 1539. This was confirmed and the school endowed 27 Elizabeth
1585.
Palmer Smythies was admitted to the Freedom of Colchester on i) December
172m. (lied Parchment Hook (or Oath Book) of Colchester, p. 22i) of the printed
version.)
The inscription over the family vault at Mile End in which he is buried is as
follows : " Here lie the remains of Palmer Smythies who was 5C years Rector of this
Church and whose faithful discharge of every duty to his Parish, his Family, and
his Friends will long endear him to their memory. He died l)ecr. 25, 177G,
aged 85."
After the death iu 1740' of Thomas Smythies who had bought the living of
Alphetou from the Martin family in 1743 (see A 18, above), the Patronage of
Alpheton came to Palmer Smythies (Aune the widow of Thomas Smythies may
have held the right of presentation jointly with Palmer Smythies till her death) and
in 1774 he left it by his will to Francis Smythies his youngest son and executor.
The White House estate in Witnesham was left to him by his grandfather William
Smythies (see A 10, above) and at his death he left it to his sons William, Hum-
phrey, and George and his daughter Anne, "equally to be divided between them,"
an arrangement which, judging from the will, does not seem to have met with the
approval of his eldest son William (see below). A bill of costs to Mr. Palmer
Smythies, dated 15 November 1731, for " taking and entering ye absolute surrendr
from M1' Thomas Smythies to Mr Palmer Smythies" of" Cardons Hall in Witnes-
ham " shews that Palmer Smythies acquired this property from his brother at that
date.
The will of Palmer Smythies, dated 0 July 1774, contains the following : —
" I give .... all that Messuage, Tenement, and farm called the White House
and the Barns, Stables, Buildings, Lands and Appurtenances thereto belonging
lying ill the parish of Witnesham or elsewhere in the county of Suffolk .... unto
my sons William, Humphry, and George and my daughter Anne and their heirs
and assigns for ever, equally to be divided between them as Tenants in common,
moreover I do order and direct that the small piece of Copyhold land in Witnes-
ham aforesaid, which 1 purchased of my late Brother Thomas and also the House,
Barn and Stable with the appurtenances in Mile End parish now or heretofore
called the Oak be sold by my Executors .... and that the money arising from such
sale shall be divided between my said sons William, Humphry, -and George and my
said daughter xVnne" (here follow recommendations to George to buy an anuuity,
etc., and then a provision that if) " William shall disturb my said other children
iu their possession or enjoyment of the said Witnesham Estate or shall refuse to
join in the sale of the other estates hereby directed to be sold, then I revoke all
the covenants and appointments of this my will in his Favour and give, limit and
appoint his share to my said other children Humphry, George and Anne and their
heirs for ever equally. Item, 1 give and devise the advowson and Bight of pre-
sentation of the Hiving of Alpheton in the county of Suffolk with the appurten-
ances unto my son Francis Smythies and his heirs for ever upon condition that the
next time it shall become vacant he or his heirs shall present my said son Humphry
thereto if he shall be then living, and the next time it shall become vacant that he
or his heirs shall present) my son Johu thereto if he shall be then living, and the
next time it shall become vacant that he or his heirs shall present my Son-iu-Haw
Thomas Twining thereto if he shall be then living." (Humphrey and John were
appointed ; Thomas Twining died during Humphrey's incumbency.) After leaving
his plate and linen to his wife and £10U and an annuity to his daughter Susan,
he continues, " residue of my personal estate after payment of my debts ami funeral
charges .... I give to my wife and three younger children John, Francis, and
Elizabeth, equally to be divided between them, and I appoint my said wife and son
Francis to be executor of this my Will. Signed and sealed C"' day of July 1774.
P. Smythies. Signed by the said Palmer Smythies in the presence of John Blyth,
John Gibson, Hen. Johnson." Proved in P.C.C. 28 January 1777 by Francis
Smythies the son. (42, Collier.)

Tlie first wife of Palmer Smythies was Susan Puplet. This is shewn by an inden-
ture (luted 2 January 1732 which " Witnessed) that the said Palmer Smythies for
and in consideration of the great affection & Love which he beiireth unto Thamar
Smythies, widow, mother of the sd Palmer Smythies, and Susan, William, Humphry,
Ann, George, Thomas, & Charles, children of the sa Palmer Smythies by Susan his
late wife heretofore Susan Puplet" .... "hath granted . . . .Edward Leeds and
William Bree .... the White House .... Upon this special Trust, and Confidence
nevertheless .... that they .... shall permit and suffer the aforesaid Thamar
Smythies, mother of the sd Palmer Smythies, to have and receive to her own use
and benefit the rents, issues and profits .... during the term of her nat. Life if she
shall so long continue Sole & unmarried," etc.
From the date of the birch of Palmer Smythies himself and of his eldest daughter
Susan (see A 34, below) it is clear that he must have married his first wife about
1719 or a little earlier. Her death is recorded by a quaint inscription on a mural
monument over the family vault in Mile End Churchyard. The wording is as follows :
" Prudent and agreeable | modest without Affectation | sprightly with good
Nature | the love of all that knew her | good without Ostentation | pious with
Chearfnlness | relying on the Merits of | a crucified Saviour | thro' him beloved of
God | Susan | the affectionate Wife of | Palmer Smythies | the tender Mother of
10 | Children 7 of which survived | her. Died Julv the 24, 1731 | And lies buried
close up to | this Wall in the Churchyard."
Nothing has so fur been ascertained regarding her parents, but it is believed
they belonged to Ipswich, where a street called Purplet Street still exists, and that
they were possibly members of that colony of Huguenot refugees which at the end
of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth century settled in the eastern
counties.
The second wife of Palmer Smythies was Elizabeth Brazier, daughter of Rev.
John Brazier, Rector of Great Holland and Easthorp, who was a member of an old
Essex family descending from Anthony Brazier, Rector of Jngatestone, who died
1609-10 (Letter from J, C. C. Smith, Esq., Probate Registry, Somerset House,
dated 3() June 1881); she was, with her two sisters, coheiress of her father (in-
formant, J. K. Smythies her great-grandson in 1880). She married 1732 (see
dates : death of 1st wife and birth of first child by 2nd wife) ; died at Colchester
and was buried at St. Michael's, Mile End, in the family vault there. Her will
was proved 9 January 1799.
A small oval portrait of Palmer Smythies, painted in oils on canvas by George
Roth in 1773, is in possession of Frank Borthwick Smythies, Esq. (B oi), and a
copy of it, painted in oils from the original, is owned by Major Raymond Smythies
(A 70), also a miniature reproduction on ivory.
(A 32) Furley Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 15) of Mile End, and
younger brother of Palmer Smythies, was born 18 September KJ93 and baptized
9 October following. (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205.)
(A 33) Hephzibah Smythies, daughter of William Smythies (A 15) of Mile
End, was born 14 July 1G95 and baptized 11 August following (Add. MSS. 19,149,
fo. 205) ; she married Alexander Meadows and had issue James, Hepzibah ' and
Sarah. (Add. MSS. 19,08G and will of William Smythies of Witnesham.)
(A 34) Susan Smythies, daughter of Palmer Smythies (A 31), was born 13 Jan
and baptized 25 January 1720-1 at St. Mary's-at-the-Walls, Colchester (Extract
Family Bible and Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205). She was left £100 and an annuity
by her father's will. (See A 31, above.)
(A 35) Richard Smythies, son of Palmer Smythies (A 31), was born 9 Dec.
41
and baptized 27 December 1721. lie died 9 April and was buried 12 April 1722
at Mile End. (Extract Family Bible and Add. MSS. 19,149, fo, 205.)
(A 30) William Smythies, sou of Palmer Smythies (A 31), was burn 18 Nov.
and baptized 4 December 1722 at St. Mary's-at-tbe- Walls, Colchester; buried
5 November 1780 at St. Peter's, Colchester. Administration was granted to bis
daughter Catherine by the Prerogative Court 24 November 1780 (Add. MSS.
19,141), f'o. 205 ; Par. Reg. St. Mary Magdalen, Colchester, etc.). He owned Green
Street Hall, North House, and Martels in East Mersey, and " Lucas's1' in Stisted
parish (Morant's " Essex," i., 430, and ii., 25(5— 38). He was at Sidney-Sussex
Coll., Cambridge ; became A. 15. 1743, A.M. 1701 (Grad. Cant., B.M.) and Fellow
of his College (" Gent. Mag.," xvii., 154). He was the first member of the family
to benefit by the purchase of the living of Alpheton by the Rev. Thomas Smythies
his uncle. Thomas Smythies died in 1740, so also did the Rev. Sheffield Martin,
Rector of Alpheton ; the living then became vacant for the first time since its
purchase by Thomas Smythies, and William Smythies was appointed to succeed
Mr. Martin, but was not inducted till 25 March 1747. (Alpheton Par. Reg.,
Bk. I., p. 00.) He was Vicar of St. Peter's, Colchester, 1759 ("Gent. Mag.,"
xxix., 007), inducted 1700, and held the living till his death (Add. MSS. 33,521).
He is mentioned in his father's will. (See A 81, above.)
William Smythies married, 14 July 1747 (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205), Anna
Dorothea Carleton, at St. Michael's, Mile End, Colchester. She died and was
buried at St. Peter's, Colchester, 5 September 1777 (mural tablet, left of pulpit,
St. Peter's, Colchester). One of the sponsors at the baptism of her daughter
Dorothea was Christopher Carleton, who was probably her father, to whom this
Christian name is ascribed with a query.
(A 37) Catherine Smythies,* daughter of William Smythies (A 30), born 7 April
and baptized at Alpheton 29 April 1748, her sponsors being Samuel Wigg, Eliza-
beth Smythies, and Catherine Carleton ; married 1793 (Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205,
and Alpheton Register). Her death is thus recorded in the " Ipswich Journal,"
10 July 1819, and "'Gent. Mag.," July 1819, p. 92: " Monday, died after a painful
affliction, aged 71, M1S Catherine Smythies, da. of the late Revd William Smythies,
Rector of Alpheton in this co. and Vicar of S' Peter's, Colch." From these
references it would appear that Catherine Smythies married a cousin of her own
name, but the Register at Alpheton, which for a time was very imperfectly kept,
does not make this clear.
(A 38) Dorothea Smythies, daughter of William Smythies (A 30), was born at
Colchester 21 November 1751 and baptized at St. Mary's (at-the- Walls) there, her
sponsors being Christopher Carleton, Ann Smythies, and Susan Smythies.
(Registered at Alpheton in Bk. I., on p. 00.)
(A 39) William Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 30), was born 18 July
1753 and baptized at Alpheton 5 September, his sponsors being Palmer Smythies,
George Heath, and Hasler Affleck ; Surgeon in the Army ; died 1781 or 1782.
Administration granted to Margaret his wife by Prerogative Court 23 March 1785.
He married Margaret Burgess at New York 28 April 1777 (Par. Reg. Alpheton and
Add. MSS. 19,149, fo. 205), and there died. She survived her husbaud and
married 2ndly Sir Edmund Affleck, 1st Bart., 14 May 1788 (Burke's " Peerage,"
information given by Elizabeth Smythies his granddaughter, etc.). Hi Burke's
" Peerage " Lady Affleck's Christian name is incorrectly given as Mary instead of
Margaret.
(A 40) John Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 30), was born 30 July aud

baptized I August 1754. He died 4 October 1754 and whs buried at Alpheton.
(Par. lit'"-. Alpheton and Add. MSS. 19,149, Co. 205.)
(A 11) CJarleton Smythies, son of William Smythies (A 86), died without isBiie.
(Add. MSS: 19,149, and information given by Elizabeth Smythies his great-niece).
(A 42) Harriet Smythies, daughter of William Smythies (A 36), was born
25 November 1760 and married Jacob Whiuington. She made ail affidavit in
December 1880 of her pedigree from her great-graiidfacher William Smythies
(A 15) of Mile End, in which a curious mistake has been made, from which it
would appear that William Smythies (A 17), with his brothers and sisters, and
William Smythies (A 36), with his brothers and sisters, were all children of William
Smythies (A 15) of Mile End, who died more than two years before William
Smythies (A 36) was born, and is shewn in the Whittinyton pedigree to have done so.
It is not surprising that Mrs. Whittington, who was over 9U years of age when
the affidavit was made, should have been bewildered by the numerous Williams,
but it is curious that the person who drew up the pedigree should not have noticed
so obvious an error. Apart from this mistake the particulars regarding individuals,
almost all of which it has been possible to check by comparison with wills, parish
registers, etc., appear to be perfectly correct (they were no doubt taken from
documents), but it is necessary to call special attention to the inaccuracy of this
pedigree, as otherwise it might cause serious confusion.
The facts, as set forth in Pedigree £, are that William Smythies (A 36), who
married Auua Dorothea Carleton, was the 6on by his first wife, Susan Puplet, of
Palmer Smythies (A 31), who was the eldest brother of William Smythies (A 17),
who married lstly Margarita de Vandergues and 2ndly Elizabeth Blateh ; Palmer
Smythies (A 31) and William Smythies (A 3G) being the sons of William Smythies
(A 15), who married Thamar Furley.
(A 43) William Carleton Smythies, sou of William Smythies (A 39) of Oldland
Hall in Oldland, co. Gloucester, in 1830, was born at Xew York in 1778 (Add.
MSS. 19,149, to. 205). He was gazetted Cornet 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons
18 August 1796 and was still serving in 1798, but his name disappears from the
list of officers iu 1799, and he evidently retired before marriage (Army List). He
married, 21 March 1799, iEmilia Irving, daughter of Joshua Gosselin of Guernsey,
and of Ware, co. Hertford, Esq. She died at Bath in 1858, tet. 82, and he died in
1853. (Gosselin Pedigree, Twining and Smythies Family Papers.)
(A 44) .... Smythies, another son of William Smythies (A 39), who died in
infancy, Christian name not known. (Add. MSS. 19,149, to. 205.)
(A 45) Carleton Smythies, sou of William Carleton Smythies (A 43), of Oak
Lawn, co. Suffolk, and Roman Hill, near Colchester ; married Theodosia, da. of Sir
Henry Hawley, 2nd Bart., but died without issue 17 July 1862.* He aud his brother
Thomas (A 46) were the last male descendants of William, son of Palmer Smythies,
Rector of Mile End, by his first marriage, and both failing to leave issue, Henry
Raymond Smythies (A 64), direct descendant of Humphrey, the other son of Palmer
by his first marriage who left issue, became senior representative of the family.
(A 46) Thomas Gosselin Smythies, son of William Carleton Smythies, died un-
married. He was appointed Vicar of St. John's, Ciuderford, 1844. (" St. James's
Chronicle," February 3-6, 1844.)
* Sir Joseph Hawley, 3rd Barouet, brother of Mrs. Carleton Smythies, won " The Derby "
on four occasions, viz., in 1S51, 1858, 1859, 1808.

(A -17) Elizabeth Smythies, living at Weston Lawn, Bath, 1880, died un-
married.
(A 48) Sarah Smythies, living at Weston Lawn, Bath, 1880, died unmarried.
(A -A!)) Catherine Smythies, married J. Hooper.
(A 50) Christian Mary Smythies, living at Weston Lawn, Bath, 1880, died un-
married 22 May 18<J1.
(A 51) Joshua Smythies, son of William Carletou Smythies(A 43), died young.
(A 52) Humphrey Smythies, son of Palmer Smythies (A 31), was baptized at
St. Mary-at-the-Walls, Colehester, but the record of his birth and baptism, in
which it may be noted his name is spelt Humphrey, is in the Register at St. Mary
Magdalene, Colchester. The following quaint entry is found on the first page of
the Register at South Moreton : "The Revd M1' Smythies gave ten books of the
new version of the Psalms for the use of the Singers of South Moreton for which
the Church Wardens are annually accountable to the Minister — in the year of our
Lord 1766. These books were given — John Bohem, Dennis Alder, Church War-
dens." And below, " N.B. — the sole iutent of this memorandum is that the Books
may not be embezzled privately, Hum'y Smythies." A notice of his preferment to
Blewbury-cum-Upton in 1759 occurs in "Gent. Mag.," xxix., 11)5, and of his
preferment to Alpheton in 1781 in the same, li., 48. In Alpheton Church is a
mural monument with the following inscription : " In memory of Humphry [sic]
Smythies, M.A., Rector of this Parish, who died May 30"', 1*806, in the 83rd year
of his age." By his father's will he was left a share in the Witnesham property
(see A 31, above).
Humphrey Smythies married Katherine Abbot (widow of Mr. Abbot of Abing-
don), whose maiden name was Carter, and from the date of the birth of their son
Henry Yeats (A 59) it is probable the marriage took place about the end of 1763
or beginning of 17U4. but enquiries at Abingdon and elsewhere have not been suc-
cessful in eliciting further information. She died and was buried at Stanground,
where her son was Vicar, and a mural monument in the chapel at the east end of
the north aisle of the church bears the following inscription : "In memory of
Katherine Sinythies, Relict of Humphrey Smythies, M.A., Rector of Alpheton in
the County of Suffolk and of Staughton in the County of Bedford. Died May 6,
1810, Aged 76." The Register merely records that Katherine Smythies, mother
of the Rev. H. Y. Smythies, Vicar, was buried on 12 May 1810.
A miniature portrait of Humphrey Smythies, painted on ivory by Charles
J agger (1770 — 1827) of Bath, circa 1803, is now in possession of his great-grandson
Major Raymond Sinythies (A 70).
(A 53) Ann Smythies, daughter of Palmer Smythies (A 31), married the Rev.
Brook Nathaniel Bridges, a member of the Kent family of that name (Brook Bridges,
Esq., of Goodneston was created a Barouet 1718). The subsequent marriage of her
daughter Margaretta to the Rev. Samuel Raymond of Belchamp Hall, Walter Bel-
champ, formed the first link between the Smythies and Raymond families. A
head-and-shoulders portrait in oils on canvas of Rev. Samuel Raymond* and a half-
length portrait of Margaretta his wife (30 in. by 25 in.) by John Simpson are now
in possession of Major Raymond Smythies (A 70), also a miniature on ivory of
Margaretta Raymond.
(A 54 to A 58). See pedigree.

portrait of the Rev. Samuel Raymond, when a younger man, by Gainsborough, anil a remarkable

estate from Sir John Wentworth about 1011, onwards.

(A 59) Henry Yeats Smythies, son of Humphrey Smythies (A 52), whose birth
is recorded in the South Moretoh Register, was for many years Fellow of Em-
manuel College, Cambridge, and on relinquishing the office of Bursar, which he had
Cor some time held, lie was presented with a silver cake-basket [now in possession of
his grandson Major Raymond Smytliies (A 70)], on which are engraved the Em-
manuel College arms, the Smytliies arms (On a field argent a chevron azure between
three oak-haves vert, each charged with an acorn or), and the following inscription :
" Magisteret Socii Coll. Email. Henrico Yeats Smytliies, S.T.B., in limsarii munere
obeundo Streuuo ac fideli D. ]).!). amcccx." In the previous year he had received
preferment as Vicar of the valuable living of Stanground-cum-Farcet, co. Hunts, in
the gift of Emmanuel College, which he held till his death.
He married Isabella Raymond, the granddaughter of his aunt Ann Bridges
(A 53). This formed the second link between the Smytliies and Raymond families.
A mural monument on the south wall of the chancel of Stanground Church bears
the following inscription : —
" Within this church are deposited the remains of the Reva Henry Yeats
Smythies, B.D., formerly Fellow and Bursar of Emmanuel College in the University
of Cambridge and thirty-three years Vicar of this Parish. He was an active magis-
trate for the County of Huntingdon and Liberty of Peterborough, the duties of
which office he fulfilled for many years with honor to himself and benefit to the
public. He was born at South Moreton in the County of Berks Feb. 15, 17C3, and
died June 20th, 1842, Leaving a Widow and Seven Children, at whose desire this
tablet was erected in testimony of their respect for his integrity of character and
gratitude for his affectionate kindness as a Husband and Parent. Isabella, Relict
of the above, died September 8th, 1858, aged 74 years, and lies buried at Woking
in the County of Surrey."
A head-and-shoulders portrait in oils on canvas of Henry Yeats Smytliies and
a half-length portrait of Isabella his wife (30 in. by 25 in.) by John Simpson* are
now in possession of their grandson Major Raymond Smythies (A 70).
The pedigree of Isabella Raymond, wife (and first-cousin once removed) of
Henry Yeats Smythies, is recorded in Burke's " Landed Gentry," Burke's " Royal
Descents," Ruvigny's " Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal " (Mortimer- Percy
Volume, Part I.), etc.

(A Cil) Margaretta Smythies, married John Greene, Esq., elder brother of Ed-
ward Greene, Esq., who married her sister Emily (A 67). They lived at "Abbey
Ruins," Bury St. Edmunds. "The Panels" was bought by their son John
Smytliies Greene in 1874. Fanny, daughter of John Greene and Margaretta
Smythies, married as his 2nd wife Rev. Oliver Raymond, Rector of Middleton,
nephew of her grandparents (A 59), and so formed a third link between the
Smytliies and Raymond families. (See A 53 and A 59, above.)
(A 62 and A 63). See pedigree.
(A 64) Henry Raymond Smythies, son of II. Y. Smythies (A 59), had no issue

possession of her nephew Major Raymond Smythies (A 70).
(A 66) Walter Tyson Smythies, eon of II. Y. Smythies (A 5!)), married (but
had no issue) Anne Rycroft Raymond, his mother's niece. This formed a fourth
link between the Siny tides and Raymond families. (Sec A 53, 59, and 61, above.)
(A G7) Emily Smythies, married Edward Greene, Esq. (see A 61), who survived
his wile and married secondly Caroline Dorothea, widow of Admiral Sir William
Hoste, Bart., and daughter of Charles Pridcaux Bruno of Prideanx Place, co. Corn-

A half-length portrait in oils on canvas (24 in. by 20 in.) of Raymond Brewster
Smythies (artist not known) and a miniature on ivory, by Nina Hardy, of Isabella
his wife, are in possession of their son Major Raymond Smythies (A 7o).
A portion of the pedigree of Isabella Jane Anstey, wife of Raymond Brewster
Smythies, is recorded in Ruvigny's " Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal"
(Mortimer- Percy Volume, Essex Supplement). This shews her descent from
Christopher Anstey the poet* and Ann Calvert (see Verney in Burke's "Peerage
and Baronetage") her great-grandparents. The father of Christopher Anstey the
poet was the Rev. Christopher Anstey, D.D. (who married Elizabeth, daughter
of Anthony Thompson, M.P. for Cambridge in 1702), and his grandfather was
William Anstey, who was living and married in 1706' to Elinor Reynolds. Christo-
pher Anstey the poet had a country seat and fine property at Trumpington, near
Cambridge, but this was sold by his grandson Christopher (uncle of Isabella Jane
Smythies), who died unmarried. A fairly full account of Christopher Anstey the
poet, and some references to his father, are contained in " The General Biographical
Dictionary," by Alexander Chalmers, F.S.A. (London, 1812), "The Dictionary of
National Biography," etc. He was granted a mural monument in Poets' Corner,
Westminster Abbey.
(A 70) Raymond Henry Raymond Smythies, son of R. B. Smythies (A C9),
became, on the death of his uncle Henry Raymond Smythies (A 04) iu 1888, the
only living male descendant of Palmer Smythies (A 31) by his first marriage. A
three-quarter length portrait of R. II. Raymond Smythies (38j by 20,) in oils on
canvas has been painted by Joseph Simpson, R.B.A.
* Several portraits of Christopher Anstey exist. In the quarto edition of his works, brought
out by his son John in 1SU8, a portrait in enamel by Zinck and one in oils by Sir Thomas
Lawrence were reproduced. Another portrait by J. Thurston, engraved by Engleheart, was
published by W. Walker in 1822. Another, with his daughter Sarah (afterwards the wife of
Bear-Admiral Thomas Sotheby), by Gainsborough, is the property of the Rev. John Anstey, his
great-grandson. And another by William Hoare, It. A., is in possession of the Corporation of
Bath, who also own a portrait of Ann Calvert his wife, by the same artist.

Pedigree B. — The Smythies of Essex and Suffolk,
Descended from Palmer Smythies and Elizabeth, ne'e Brazier, his second wife.
(B 1) John Smythies of Colchester, son of Palmer Smythies (A 31). The
Rev. Robert Bashford, Master of King James' Hospital, Colchester, writing
2G March 1903, says : " All his successors .... owe to the Mr. Smythies, Master
in 1805, a debt of gratitude for his plucky and successful law-suit on behalf of the
Master's income and statutory obligations. The present hospital dates from
King .lames 1st reign, and originally it was a leper hospital, founded by Count
Eudo de Dapifer in the reign of Henry 1st."
Two identical portraits of John Smythies, painted in oils (artist not known),
are in existence, one the property of his great-grandson Mi'. Arthur Smythies, and
the other of his great-great-granddaughter Miss Mary Peachey.
Elizabeth (ne'e Longeroft), wile of John Smythies, was on her father's side
a member of an old Hampshire family, and on her mother's was descended from
the Bearcrofts of Mere Hall, Worcestershire. This property was possessed by the
Bearerofts in lineal male descent from 1337 to 1822, when it passed to an heiress,
whose heirs assumed the name and arms of Bearcroft. (See Burke's " Landed
Gentry," etc.)
(B 2, 3, and 4). See pedigree.
(B 5) Elizabeth Smythies married the Rev. Thomas Twining, who, in a
bicentenary record of the Twinings of Devereux Court, Strand (published 1910),
is thus described : " An erudite classical scholar, an acute critic, a brilliant letter
writer, a musician of great ability, and an accomplished linguist. His translation
of Aristotle's ' Poetics ' is still spoken of with respect." " He was a friend of
Johnson, Garriek, Burke, and Bumey, formed part of Mrs. Thrale's 'charmed
circle' at Streatham, and, on his death in 1804, was made the subject of an
eloquent epitaph by the great Samuel Parr."* See also the " Dictionary of
National Biography ;" " A Country Clergyman of the XVIII. Century" (Murray,
1882); "Papers of the Twining Family" (Murray, 1887), etc. A portrait of
Rev. T. Twining was painted by J. J. Hales aud reproduced in mezzotint by
C. Turner.
Thomas Twining, the founder of the well-known house of tea merchants and
bankers, when he first came to London at the end of the seventeenth century
lived in the parish of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, and there, in all probability, became
acquainted with William Smythies (A 10). If so, the friendship then started
would account for the fact that Richard Twining, grandson of Thomas, having
taken his eldest son Thomas iuto his business and finding him unfitted for it,
asked Palmer Smythies, grandson of the above-mentioned William Smythies,
to take Thomas into his family and prepare him for the university. It was in this
way that Thomas Twining the younger became attached to Elizabeth Smythies,
the daughter of his preceptor, and subsequently married her. A second marriage
took place between the two families in the next generation (see B U, below), when
Richard Twining, nephew of the Rev. Thomas Twining, married Elizabeth
Smythies (B C), his wife's niece. Their son was the next head of the house of
Twining, aud their daughter Miss Louisa Twining, who is still living, is well
known for her valuable work in the cause of education and philanthropy.
(B (J) Elizabeth Mary Smythies married Richard Twining, the second head of
the " House of Twining " of that name (see B 5, above). He was educated at
Norwich under Dr. Samuel Parr, was Chairman of the Committee of Bye-laws at
the East India House, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Member of the Society
of Arts. A good portrait of him exists, painted in oils, by Mrs. Carpenter. It is
now at Devereux Court, Strand, in possession of his descendants.

(B 7) John Robert Smythies, sou of John Smythies (B 1). M.I. St. Jamesr
Churchyard, Colchester. Author of " Thoughts on the Agricultural Question,"
contained in a letter to the Earl of Liverpool (London, 1820). A miniature
portrait of John Robert Smythies is in possession of his great-granddaughter
Miss Mary Peachey. He is also one of the figures represented in the picture,
by Ansdeil, of "The Country Meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of
England " (1889 ?). engraved by S. \V. Reynolds, and published by Thomas Agnew
at Manchester in 1813. The document appointing John Robert Smythies Chaplain

(B 12) Henry Smythies, son of John Robert Smythies (B 7), married Harriette,
daughter of Henry Waddington, at Liverpool, 1 March 1810. Particulars of the
Waddington family and a pedigree are given in the " History of Monmouthshire,"
by Colonel Joseph A. Bradney, C.B., B.A., F.S.A. (p. 388). The Rev. Joseph
Waddington, Vicar of Harworth and Walkeringham, co. Notts, who was born in
1711 and died in 1780, had a large family, and amongst them a son Henry (burn
17t>l), the father of Mrs. H. Smythies. Another, and elder son, William, became
a naturalized Frenchman, and his son Thomas was the father of William Henry
Waddington (born 1826, died 1894), who became French Ambassador to Great
Britain (1883— 93). Harriette Smythies died 17 April 1891, aged 79, and was
buried at Dunedin, N.Z.

(B 41) Francis Smythies, son of Palmer Smythies (A 31). An open letter
from " An Independent and impartial Free Burgess to the rest, of the Free
Burgesses of the Borough of Colchester," advocating the appointment of Francis
Smythies as Recorder of Colchester, contains the following : "The vacancy of the
Recordership, an event which .... cannot be at a very great distance, will make to
you the most important crisis of any that hath taken place since your acceptance
of the new Charter. The embarrassed situation of your finances, and the late
outrageous attempt of one of your Aldermen and Representatives in Parliament to
reduce them to a still lower state by depriving yon of the most valuable part
of your fisheries, are matters of the most serious Consideration. They call upon
you in the strongest manner to elect a man to the Recordership who is both able
and willing to vindicate your just and ancient rights .... Three persons have been
talked of as successors to Mr. Mayhew .... Sir Robert Smyth .... Mr. Smythies,
the Town Clerk, and .... Mr. Grimwood V 11 the Magistrates, and by far the
greatest part of the Corporate body, I find most warmly wish Mr. Smythies
to succeed to the office of Recorder. They seem to think him iu sill respects
perfectly qualified for the due execution of it, and indeed I do not find that his
most violent enemies have ventured to call iu question his abilities for any part of
the business that belongs to it. The greatest objection I have heard against him
is that he is too sanguine in his temper, and too violent iu carrying his party
measures into execution; and, I confess, that where 1 have differed from him
in opinion [ have thought the same, and have felt, the full force of the objection ;
and, angry as I have been with him at the time, yet I never could suppress a wish
that we had had so warm and so steady a friend on our side of the question ; and
though perhaps a character with less spirit might be more generally popular, yet
would it be less adapted to our present perilous situation. In the course of the
twenty years that he has exercised the office of Town Clerk .... whenever I have
had occasion to ask his advice he has always given it to me gratis .... With
respect to his behaviour on the Hall, whenever our rights to the Commons,
Fisheries, or other public matters have been under consideration, you must have
made your own observations, and I dare say they have been such as have done him
Credit, both as a Townsman and a Brother Burgess." (Copied from the original,
as published, dated 17 November 1787.) Francis Smythies was appointed
Recorder.
Portraits in oils of Francis Smythies and his wife are in possession of his
great-grandson Mr. Frank Borthwick Smythies, who also has a miniature portrait
of Francis Smythies.
(B 4:.'). See pedigree.
(B 48) Mary Ann Smythies, daughter of Francis Smythies (B 41). Sackville
Henry Frederick Gwynne of Glaubrau, the husband of Mary Ann Smythies, was
a member of the well-known Welsh family of that name. The record of his
marriage to Mary Ann Smythies will be found in the Gwynne pedigree given in
the "History of Monmouthshire," by Colonel Joseph A. Bradney, C.B., B.A., F.S.A.,
p. 409. lie was baptized at Llanfair ar y bryn 14 August 1778, became Captain
in the Monmouthshire and Brecknockshire Militia, Colonel of the Carmarthenshire
Volunteers, and Sheriff of Brecknockshire 1807. He and his son sold Glaubrau,
and spent the family fortuue. He died in 183U. There are now (1 911) several
descendants of this marriage iu the female line, but none in the male. A very
interesting account of the Gwynne family is given in " Old Wales," vol. iii., p. 288.
(B 44 to 49). See pedigree.
(B 50) William Smythies, son of Francis Smythies (B 41), married about the
year 1797 Grace, daughter of Thomas Richards of Stow Hill. Newport, Monmouth-
shire. Her mother was Elizabeth Evans, daughter, by his first wife, of Samuel
Evans of Goldcliff, co. Monmouth, Esq.
(B 51) Francis Smythies, sou of Francis Smythies (B 41), was offered knight-
hood by King (ieoige IV., but declined the honour. His will contains a compre-
hensive statement of his lauded property, and its distribution amongst his children
and grandchildren.
A portrait in oils (c. 30 inches by 25 inches), by Pickersgill, of Mrs. Francis
Smythies (ne'e Caroline Dale) is in possession of Mrs. William Yorick Smythies, by
whom it was purchased at a sale at Messrs. Robinson, Fisher, and Co.'s rooms,
on 2 February 1911, when certain pictures, formerly the property of Rev. William
Yorick Smythies, who died intestate, were offered at auction. The picture was
incorrectly catalogued as a portrait of Mrs. Frances [we] Smythies.
(B 52) Francis Smythies, son of Francis Smythies (B 51), married Harriet
Jane Gardiner, whose mother (ne'e Anne Mangles) was a sister of Frances Mangles,
who married 1825 Captain the Hon. Charles Leonard Irby (see "Boston" in

From this it will We seen that Margaret Smytliies and Samuel Raymond both
trace descent directly from Palmer Sraythies, she being his great-great-grauddaughter
by his second marriage, and he his great-great-great-grandsou by his first
marriage.
(B G2) Jane Harriet Smytliies, after her husband's decease, continued to live
at Alresford Hall till her death, which occurred on 27 July 1908.
(B 03) Charles Norfolk Sraythies married Isabella, daughter of Admiral Sir
Eaton Travers, R.N"., K.1I. The pedigree of the Trovers family is of much
interest, not only on account of its length, but also on account of the many notable
alliances and distinguished services which it records. The following, taken by-
kind permission from the family papers of Colonel James Conway Travers, gives

(B 65) Charles Alan Smythies, son of Charles Norfolk Smythies (B 03). One
of the most important services rendered by Bishop Smythies was the promotion of
harmonious relations between the German and English officials and missionaries in
East Africa. With this aim in view he visited Berlin in October 1890. There
he was the guest, of Sir Edward Malet, the then British Ambassador, and had
interviews with the Chancellor, General von Caprivi, and the Emperor William II.
It may be said with confidence that the good understanding regarding missionary
enterprise in English and German East Africa, which this visit materially helped
to establish, was of much value to both nations. A " Life of Bishop Smythies,"
by G. W.,* edited by Edward Francis Russell, M.A., with a portrait as frontispiece,
was published at the office of the Universities' Mission to Central Africa, 9 I tart-
mouth Street, Westminster, in 1898. There is a handsome memorial to him in the
form of a reredos in Zanzibar Cathedral, and a memorial tablet in the Church of
St. Mary-at-the-Walls, Colchester.
(B Cu') Palmer Kingsmill Smythies, son of Charles Norfolk Smythies (B 03),
served as a Lieutenant attached to " Boadicea's " Naval Brigade during the Zulu
War of 187!). He joined General Crealock's column, and went with it to Port
Durnford. In 1881, during the operations against the Boers, he was Naval
Transport Officer in Natal. He was Lieutenant in command of II. M.S. " Alba-
core," during the naval and military operations in the Eastern Soudan, at Suakin,
1884-85. As a Commander he held command of H. M.S. " Linnet" on the China
station.
(B 07) Lancelot Alan Smythies, son of Palmer Kingsmill Smythies (B GO), was
selected in 1910 as a Naval Officer to study Russian. He proceeded to Russia
accordingly, and on his return passed the examination in the language as
interpreter.
(B 08 and 69). See pedigree.
(B 70) William Yorick Smythies, sou of Francis Smythies (B 51), was a boy at
Shrewsbury School (1832 — 1835) in the reign of King William IV., and lived to
see King George V. ascend the throne of England. He was fond of telling the
story of the visit of the young Princess Victoria to Shrewsbury, when he was at
school there — how he with the other boys joined in the cheering which greeted her
and her mother the Duchess of Kent. For some years (between 1870 and 1893)
he was Inspector of Schools for the Dioceses of Rochester and St. Albans, and
during this time lived on his own property near Colchester. In 1897, being in his
81st year, but still full of vigour, he was appointed by the Rev. Basil Beridge to
the very valuable living of Algarkirk in Lincolnshire, and held it till his death in
1910. When 88 years of age he made a tour to Italy, Greece, the Holy Laud, and
Egypt, and was able thoroughly to enjoy his experiences. lie was a man of
commanding presence, and up to the last retained the full use of his faculties.
When he died, at nearly 94 years of age, the name of Smythies for the first time
during three centuries ceased to be represented among the clergy of the Church of
England.
Some particulars regarding the family of the first wife of W. Y. Smythies
{nee Harriette Maria Gordon) are given below (B 70). She wrote some novels
under the name of " Mrs. Gordon Smythies." His second wife {nee Anna Maria
Belson), who survives him, belongs to a naval and military family, many members
of which have rendered distinguished service. Amongst these may be mentioned
Sir Philip Belson, her grandfather's brother, who commanded the 28ch Regiment
at Quatre Bras, Captain II. F. Belson, R.N., her father, who was presented with a
specially-struck gold medal by King Louis Philippe for saving a French transport
* Gertrude Ward, a sister of Mr. T. Humphry Ward, the ail critic,
54
in the Bay of Biscay, and General Belson, Royal Artillery, her uncle, who was
present in thirty-three actions during the Peninsula War. The Belson family is
connected by marriage with the de liochpied Larpents, and aleo, through the
Anderson-Morsheads, with the Leslies, Earls of Rothes.
(B 71 to 75). See pedigree.
(B 76) William Gordon Smythies, son of William Yorick Smythies (B 70),
married his second-cousin Charlotte Mary Keble, daughter of the Rev. Thomas
Keble, only brother of Rev. John Keble, author of "The Xtiau Year." The
connexion between W. G. Smythies and his wife is shewn by the following

EXEMPLIFICATION OF ARMS AND GRANT OF CREST, BY
WILLIAM DETHICK, GARTER, AND WILLIAM CAMDEN,
CLARENCEUX, TO GEORGE SMYTIIES OF WYKE COURT,
CO. SOMERSET, 1G02.
The following is a full transcript taken from the original document now (1912)
in possession of Frank Borthwick Smythies (B 55), who is the head of the third
branch of the family descended from Francis Smythies (B 41), youngest son of
Rev. Palmer Smythies (A 31) by his second wife Elizabeth Brazier. It is
probable that the document came into possession of this branch of the family
owing to their continuous residence in Colchester, and to the fact that Palmer
Smythies made his youngest son Francis, who was a lawyer, executor of bis will.
Most, if not all, of the family documents must in these circumstances have come
into his hands, but the grant itself does not appear to have been referred to in
any will : —
"To all and Singnler Noble & Gentlemen of what state dignity or degree

MONUMENT ERECTED TO GEORGE SMYTHES IN THE CHURCH
OF ST. MARY STAINING AND INSCRIPTION TO SIR ARTHUR
SAVAGE.
The following inscription was in the church of St. Mary Staining (" repaired
and beautified" 23 Aug. 1630) "in the which, being but newly builded, there
remain no monuments worth the noting but one lately erected, a goodly monument
in the south wall of the chancel" (Stow's " London," edit. 1720, Book III., p. 96)
with this inscription, viz. : —
" Here lieth the body of George Smithes, Goldsmith and Alderman of London,
who took to wife Sarah the daughter of Anthony Wolhouse, citizen and Haberdasher
of London, by whom he had issue foure sonnes and five daughters. He departed
this life the 11th day of July anno domini 1615 being 52 years of age. To whose
memory Sarah his wife, being sole executrix of his last will and testament, at her
own proper cost and charges caused the monument to be erected."
"There be also the armorial atchievemeuts of Sir Arthur Savage Knt and this
inscription," viz. :—
"In the vault underneath lieth the body of the Honourable Sir Arthur Savage,
Knighted at Cadiz in Spain 1590 ; General of Her Majesties forces in the Kingdom
of France at the Siege of Amiens the 39 of Queen Elizabeth, Collonel, Vice
Treasurer, Receiver General and Councellonr of Estate in Ireland. He had issue
by his second wife Sarah, daughter of Anthony Woolhou^e of Clapwell in the
county of Darby (widow of George Smithes, Sheriff and Alderman of London), one
only daughter named Jane. He dyed the 13 of March 1632." (Extract from
Phillimore's " London and Middlesex Note Book," published 1892.)
CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE CUP BEQUEATHED BY
GEORGE SMYTHES TO THE CITY OF BRISTOL IX 161...
The following letter appeared in the May number (vol. xxiv., p. 60) of "The
Connoisseur Magazine," 11)01), and is reproduced by kind permission of the
Editor :—
To the Editor "The Connoisseur."
Sir,
Amongst the interesting illustrations of the Corporation plate of the City of
Bristol, which appear on page 156 of this month's number of "The Connoisseur,"
there is a representation of a " Monteith " bowl, on which the following inscription
is engraved : —
"The guift of Mr George Smyther" — "Exchanged in ye year 1709."
59
On seeing this I felt sure that the name Smyther (sic) was either a clerical
error or a mistake in the inscription, and I accordingly wrote to the Municipal
Authorities of the City of Bristol, who most courteously searched their records for
me and sent me extracts from them, which i think it will be admitted amply prove
that I was right.
In the will of George Smythes, Alderman of London, made in the year 1C14,
proved 1015, and preserved at Somerset House under the reference number " 07,
Rudd," the following occurs: —
" Item. I give and bequeath to the City of Bristoll one guilt cup of the value
of twenty pounds."
This extract, with many others from the will, I have amongst my family
papers, the testator being an ancestor of mine, and hence I formed the conclusion
that the original cup, which the "Mouteith " bowl of 1709 represents, was given
by George Smythes, not Smyther. This view the following extracts, kindly sent
me by the City Treasurer of Bristol, fully confirm : —
" Extracts from the Minutes of the Bristol Common Council 20th January 1708.
"Ittis thought fitt that Mr George Smythies, Aid" of London guifc to this City
(1015) being a large Cupp and Cover wt 00 ounces be exchanged for a Monteath
and yt 20 ounces be added."
"A Monteth in weight one hundred and five ounces seaven pennyweights
exchanged for a Cupp and Cover weight sixty-six ounces, being the guift of
M1' George Smithies to wh. is added 89 ounces and seaven pennyweights att the
City Charges."
It would be foolish, as it would be profitless, to criticise now the action of the
Bristol City Fathers of two hundred years ago, but it is impossible to repress a sigh
of regret that such an extremely valuable piece of plate as a cup with cover weighing
00 ounces of the year 1015 has been lost to the City of Bristol through the doubtless
well-intentioned but mistaken action of its former representatives. It has, how-
ever, occurred to me that it is just possible the cup may still be in existence, and
traceable, for the records do not state that it was melted down, but only exchanged,
and in all probability the arms of George Smythes were engraved on the original
cup, though the City arms only appear on the Mouteith. In case this should
have been so, I give the arms, the original exemplification of which, and the grant
of crest (dated 1002), is still in possession of the family : Argent, a chevron azure
between three oak-leaves vert, on each an acorn or. Crest : A demi-ann azure and hand
proper holding a branch of oak-leaves with acorns or, set on a wreath of the colours.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
It. II. Raymond Smythies.
30 March 1909.
The result of the correspondence with the Civic Authorities of Bristol was that
a courteous letter was received from the City Treasurer, in which he said : —
"I propose (when properly authorised) to have the name on the Mouteith
changed from Smyther to Smythes. It will then- agree with the name of the
George Smythes who left the cup and cover by will to the City in 1015. Aud I
shall be glad to know that this will meet with your approval."
Needless to say a reply was sent stating that this would be entirely satisfactory.
It is to be regretted, however, that the publication of the above letter has not so
far led to the discovery of the original cup.— It. II. It. S.

.SOME ROYAL DESCENTS IN THE SMYTHIES FAMILY.
Introductory Note.
Since Sir Bernard Burke published li is book of Royal Descents in the early
part of the last century, the tracing of pedigrees of this character has been pursued
with great diligence, and the result is that Burke's list, which included, inter alia,
the Raymond descent, has now been supplemented by a very large number of
others. The fullest details regarding the descents recorded in these Records will
be found in the Mortimer-Percy Volume (Part J.) of that valuable series of
genealogical works entitled, "The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal," compiled
by the Marquis of Ruvigny. In that volume, on p. 631, etc. (Essex Supplement),
will be found particulars of the Smythies descent, through the Ansteys, from
Roger, 4th Earl of March ; the descent through the Raymonds, from Lady Eliza-
beth Mortimer, will be found on p. 122, etc., and the descent through the
Fosbrookes from the same lady on p. 474, etc. It will be interesting also to note,
by reference to Table I. in the above-mentioned volume, that descendants of Roger,
4th Earl of March, through the marriage of his daughter, Lady Anne Mortimer, to
Richard Plantagenet, Earl of Cambridge, are, through the last-named, descended
from Edmund, Duke of York, fourth sou of Edward III., as well as from Lionel,
Duke of Clarence, his second son ; and further, that his descendants, through the
marriage of Lady Isabel Plantagenet (his granddaughter) to Henry, 1st Earl of
Essex, are, in addition, descended from Thomas, Duke of Gloucester, fifth son of
Edward III., who was grandfather of the said earl. In the same Table it may be
observed that descendants of Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, through the marriage of
her son Henry, 2nd Earl of Northumberland, to Lady Eleanor Nevill, are, tli rough
Lady Eleanor (a granddaughter of John of Gaunt) descended from John of Gaunt,
Duke of Lancaster, third sou of Edward III., as well as from Lionel. Duke of
Clarence, his second son.
Hence it will be seen that : —
Isabella Smythies (nee Raymond) descends from the second and third sons.
Raymond Brewster Smythies descends from the second and third sons.
Elizabeth Anne Smythies (/ice Posbrooke) descends from the second and
third sons.
Yorick Palmer Fosbrooke Smythies descends from the second and third sons.
Francis Palmer Smythies descends from the second and third sons.
Isabella Jane Smythies {ne'e Austey) descends from the second, fourth, and
fifth sons.
Raymond Henry Raymond Smythies descends from the second, third, fourth,
and fifth sons.
It is believed that a line of descent from Plantagenet ancestors might be traced
in t lie case of some members of the second branch of the Smythies' family descended
from John Smythies, the eldest son of the Rev. Palmer Smythies by his second
wife, but so far the pedigrees given below are all that it has been possible to
verily.
The living descendants of Margaretta Smythies, who married John Greene,
Esq., of Bury St. Edmunds, include John Wollaston Greene, John (.'ceil Wollastou
Greene, Kenneth Wollaston Greene, Ella Wollastou Greene, Hilda Wollaston Mrs.
Maugham (ne'e Greene), Rhoua Wollaston Greene, Rev. Carleton Greene, Francis
Carleton Greene, Marion Raymond Greene, William Herbert Greene, Charles
Raymond Greene, Henry Graham Greene, Alice Marion Greene, .Maud Churchill
Greene, Nora Carleton Greene and Frances Elizabeth llaj id .Mrs. Oliver
Raymond {nee Greene). Full particulars of their descent are given on p. li'ii
Mortimer-Percy Vol., Part 1. of Ruviguy's " Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal."
08
The living descendants of Emily Smythies, who married Edward Greene, Esq., M.P.,
of Nether Hall, Bury St. Edmunds, include Sir E. Walter Greene, Bart., Lieut. -
Colonel Walter Raymond Greene, M.P., Edward Allan Greene, Agatha koyds

Sin,
I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter, and copy of your hook of the
Historical Records of the old -tOth Regiment, which I have handed to H.R.H.
the Commander-in-Chief, as you desired. J am desired to thank you in His Royal

Dear Captain Smythies,
I am very much obliged for your history of the South Lancashire Regiment.
It is charmingly brought out, and will, I am sure, afford me both pleasure and
valuable information when [I] read it.
Thanking you very much for this handsome present.
Believe me to be,
Very truly yours,
To Captain Smythies, (Signed) ' Wolseley.

NOTE REGARDING THE PALMER FAMILY.
See Pedigree, page 7, and Genealogical Note.-?, pp. 32 and ;io ; also deeds
regarding the Whitehouse, Wnnesham, p. GO d sei/.
In Add. MSS., 1908(5, p. 410, will be found the following: — lames Palmer,
Master in Arte* hath an estate ill Witnesham hetter('r) than flOO p. aim. He is
also owner of Newplace in Ipswich. MS. of Suff. Families 1, Condor, p. 342.
Also amonirst records of burials at Witnesham Church :
'Mary Palmer, wile of Robert, buried 29 Aug. 1594.
Mrs. Margaret Palmer, buried 3 .May IU90.
Mr. Charies Palmer, buried 25 Nov. 1724.
73
It 1ms not been ascertained definitely to which of the families named Palmer,
James Palmer of New Buckenham and Witnesham, belonged, but it is probable
that he came from the same family as Sir Thomas Palmer, Part., of co. Kent.
The Smythies Family during the 18th Century married iuto the Kent Family of
Brook Bridges (see p. 11). Sir Brook Bridges, the first baronet of this family,
married as his first wife Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Palmer, and both the
Brook Bridges and the Smythies families became related hy marriage to the
Hawleys, also a Kent family. These circumstances are not cited as proofs, but
they shew a connexion between the Smythies Family and families living in Kent,
which seems likely to have had its origin in the marriage of William Smythies to
Hephzibah Palmer. The Admission Register of ({ray's Inn records that on
6th May 1657 two sons of Sir Thomas Palmer, Bart., Herbert and James, were
entered as students. Charles Cromer, a close relation by marriage of James
Palmer's daughter Elizabeth, was also a member of this Inn.
NOTE REGARDING THE BRAZIER FAMILY.
See Pedigree, page 1), and G oncological Notes, page 40, fourth paragraph.
In a letter dated :— Probate Registry, Somerset House, London, W.C.,
June 30th, 1881, J. C. C. Smith, Esq., writes as follows to Francis Smythies, Esu.
(B.22):- l
"I suppose you know that Palmer Smythies was eldest son of the Rev. William
Smythies, Rector of Mile End, who died I719-20.
" I have a great deal of information as to Elizabeth Brazier's Ancestry, and I
shall be pleased to place it at your service whenever you like to call here.
"I will give you roughly her descent from the first of her ancestors that I have
met with." (Here follows the pedigree as below.)

Elizabeth Brazier, 2nd wife [married 13 Jan. = Palmer Smythies (A 31), Rector of
1732].* See pp. (J, 14, 40, 51. Mile End, Colchester.
* The information euclosed in brackets was not entered in the pedigree given by Mr. J. C. C.
Smith in his letter, but was supplied by Mr. John Kiunersley Smythies (B a) in I8S0 from an
old abstract of title, i'nis doeument shewed that John Brazier married Ann, daughter of
Francis Wheeler, on 15 September lti'Jl, and had issue by her Elizabeth and three other
daughters, ami that Elizabeth married the Rev. Palmer Smythies (A :ll) on 13 January 1732.
(N.B.— This reference to the exact date of the second marriage of the Hev. Palmer Smythies
was overlooked when paragraph I on pa^e 40 was written. — 11. II. 11. S.)
71
NOTE REGARDING THE TRAVERS FAMILY.
Since the printing of the Travers pedigree, given on pp. 51 and 52 ante,
another pedigree of the Travers family with explanatory letterpress lias come to
notice. This pedigree is given iu "The Family History of Hart of Donegal"
(Mitchell Hughes and Clarke, 1 907), pp. 90-94, and supplies details, which it is
interesting to compare with the particulars of the pedigree contained in this book.
In the work referred to it is stated : —
(a.) that " a large (lumber of pedigrees of the Travers families have been
arranged by H. J. Sides of the Bodleian Library, from a collection by S. -Smith
Travers, and were printed by Parker at Oxford in 1804."
(b.) that the pedigree given " has been extracted from the full pedigrees in the
possession of Joseph (Jates Travers of the Devonshire Kegt.," one of the
pedigrees being " one by Sir Bernard Burke, corrected and supplied by him to
Mr. Smith Travers in 1803."
(c.) that Brian Travers de Nateby who went to Ireland in 1599 " married the
heiress of the Estate of Pill, near Bristol," and " is said to be* the son (N.B. not
the grandson ?) of Richard Travers of Nateby, who married Grace, the daughter of
.... Redman of Harewood Castle."
(</.) that John Travers, son of Brian, and his wife Sarah (nee Spencer) were
both buried at St. Finsbarry's, John dying 30 April 1013.
(e.) that Sir Robert Travers, son of John, was killed "in the battle of
Cappoquin 1643." But this statement does not agree with the pedigree on the
following page, in which Sir Robert is shewn as having been " killed at Knocknanoss
13 Nov. 1047." The latter date, which agrees with the pedigree given iu this book,
seems the more likely to be correct.
(/.) that Richard Travers, eldest son of Sir Robert, married twice, firstly in
1658 Eleanor (not Ellen ?), daughter of Jonas Stowell (not Stewell ?) of Ross, by
whom he had a son John, and secondly Maria ... by whom he had no issue ; that
Richard had a younger brother John, who also left issue.
(g.) that John Travers, son of Richard, married in 1088 Cassandra Sampson,
that he was the second son, that he was born in 1663, and that his will dated
25 March 1727 was proved in Sept. 1727.
(/;.) that Robert Travers of Hettysville (sic), son of John, married firstly
Elizabeth, daughter of Dillon Newman of Newborough, and secondly Miss
Duuscombe, and that he died 20 Feb. 1763.
(/.) that John Travers of Hettysville, only sou of Robert, married in Oct. 1768
Mehetabel, daughter of James (not John ?) Colthurst of Dripsey Castle, and died
19 March 1791, predeceasing his wife, who died 20 Feb. 1824, set. 75.
N.15. — According to recent editions of Burke's " Peerage and Landed Gentry,"
this statement appears to be the correct one, i.e., that John Travels married
Mehetabel, daughter of James Colthurst and sister of John Colthurst, both of
Dripsey Castle.
* The Editor of "The Family History of Hurt of Donegal " states in a footnote (page '.'I')
that "the father of Brian Travels is not known." If that be SO the portion of the Travels
Pedigree given in this work before 1599 requires a link to connect it with what follows, but
no opinion ean here be given as to the correctness, or incorrectness, of the statement. — It. II . K s.

Gosfield after his resignation of the living of Delchamp Walter in 1643," it should
have been stated ihatJohu Raymond died in 1035, and was succeeded by his son
Oliver, who was a zealous Puritan, and a member of Cromwell's parliaments in
1(153 and 1050, and therefore that it was probably through Oliver Raymond's
interest thai William Smythies secured the appointment to Gosfield, though his
friendship with John Raymond, the lather, was very likely also a contributory
cause.
